This year the Jewish community of Chernovtsy headed by rav Menachem Glinzsteinsaw a big action before the Pesakh holiday. All the children got beautiful gifts from the community: the holiday clothes and food products sets with all necessary for the Pesach week at home.
More than 500 people of different ages have been invited to the Laila Ceder (the first Pesakh Ceder). To make the ceder more interesting they were all divided into three groups: children with parents, youth and adults.Cosy premises harboured all of the people desiring to feel the spiritual liberation and unity of the Jews.
In the children's place rabanit Pnina Glinzstein held a quiz game with questions about the Pesach Agada for children and parents and a holiday lottery with gifts and surprises was played.
In the youth place Agada was read and the ceder was conducted by the Jewish Culture Centre director Irina Gitelman.
In the adults place the atmosphere was solemn. The words "We sit like kings" came true during the Agada reading and the Ceder. Every one drank 4 glasses of wine and ate "matza shmura" in honor of the holiday of the liberation of the Jewish people.
We believe that this Pesach was the holiday when every one of us felt the spiritual liberation from the slavery.
