Color war in Stavropol
















Today (Sunday) we woke up early, and Borya Vineberg came to fix our STUPID kitchen light. He did it so Ghetto style, I had to hold back a smirk several times.






Today was Sunday school! We are so happy that finally we will be organizing the school. The Sakhnut is out of money, and the funding was taken from the Rosh Hakahal, so finally we can make it into a proper Jewish school. And today we got a look at what they already do, as we visited the Sakhnut office, where most of the parents were already waiting.






The little kids, trained by their 'dance choreographer', perfomred for us the cutest little show, and told the story of Chanukah in rhyme. They also danced to some music that Lena Vanskova played on the piano. It was adorable.




Then we went into the next room where an entire meal was set up. First I lit Menorah, then while everyone ate, I told the story of Chanukah. After that, the fun began. The kids were split into teams (Sevivon and Shamash), and Natasha Kulugina and myself were the 'judges.'


Then the kids had to compete in:


- Who can eat the most Sufganiyot

- Who can draw the nicest 'Chanukah art'

- Who can tell the Chanukah story best

- Which team can answer the most questions on Chanukah


And some other ones. Of course, it ended in a tie (we cheated).


Above are some new pictures we received from our Chanukah event, thanks to Yulia Sharapan. I think they are quite nice.
