On February 7 in our warm Home we were celebrating the holiday of Tu-bi-Shvat that was held under the slogan: "We know a garden be in bloom when there are such people in our community!"

Many people of different ages came. All the participants, young and old, were divided into 4 teams. Each team had its own name, an emblem and a slogan. Programme of the holiday was started from the quiz by results of which the order of performances of the teams "Happy grapes", "Date", "Almonds" and "Garnet" was defined into the unforgettable and fascinating magic "trip to the forest spring". The tasks were quite different depending on the colour that a counter fell on. We sang songs about trees, danced, answered to the tricky questions, made articles of felt and cardboard, wrote wishes on the "magic tree". The event was led by the Forest fairy and the Kind story-teller. There were activities both for kids and adults. The game was so exciting that three hours passed without being noticed. Having awarded and thanked each other - players, judges, artisans, everybody came to have some tea and taste goodies made by the participants of the holiday. In a cosy setting all were discussing the game, sharing their opinions and impressions, just laughing of good mood, eating fruitage that are traditionally had on this holiday. It was pleasant to see that everyone treated as a big family, encouraged and supported each other.

We are happy to meet together as a friendly mishpakha!
