Two boys were circumcised on the 8th day, as it should be according to the Jewish law.Two other boys were circumcised at the age of 6 months.
Strong family is a core value for every Jew. The members of the community have the opportunity to do a wedding ceremony according to the Jewish law. Huppah means manifestation of their union before God, spiritually ascend to a higher level.
Jewish holidays have a special place in the community. In the days of celebrations prayers, meals, ceremonies are held. Everyone who comes to the feast feels like a part of a large Jewish family. For people who can not come for health reasons, children from Jewish schools bring a piece of the holiday to their homes, greet, entertain and light the candles with them.
Daily morning prayers take place in the synagogue. The prayers are attended by 15-40 people.
