"From year to year Jewish community of Kazakhstan gathers in Karaganda on the most long-awaited and colorful measure, especially for children, - Festival of the Jewish children's and youth creation - "Freilehe Kinder". 2008 - Fourth Festival!!! Can you imagine how "grew" in the creative plan both participants, and chiefs! The preparation begins long before a holiday. A theme this year - was culture of Yiddish!!! The set of numbers - vocal, choreography from all corners of Kazakhstan - everything the most interesting, in opinion of jury, could be seen by the members of Karaganda Hesed and Jewish Community Center (JCC) and also invited and visitors.

Our collective began to prepare for a long time, unfortunately, there were difficulties and with a place of realization of rehearsals, some participants leaved on rest with the parents abroad, someone was ill - and all this shortly before departure in Karaganda. But, we found a way out - agreed with schools, sometimes rehearsed directly in JCC, in a result everything turned out well and we set off to a way in the boon mood and prepared!

After the arrival children begin to search by eyes for with whom made friendship on the last festivals - it is necessary to see these eyes, complete with hopes and pleasure, if they find in crowd the one whom searched for!


And rushed rehearsals in the wings, struggle among the chiefs for 5 minutes of run through on a stage, discos, selection round, and gala-concert!!! It is star hour for the young members of our JCC!!! Ovations, rewarding, letters, super - diner, final disco!

On behalf of JCC of Astana we would to thank choreographer with which we work not the first year already - Svetlana Tumashevich - for high professionalism and best human qualities, due to which the work with her brings only pleasure, both children, and chiefs!

Now we wait for a theme of a Festival for 2009, and the new ideas will begin to be embodied in new performances!!!
