From Holiday To Holiday
 On February, 28 world Jewry celebrated Purim. Scarcely had the impressions from bright joyful Purim Spiels settled down when the organizations of the Minsk Jewish Campus get down to new work: Pessah preparations are in full swing. This year (the year of 5770 in the Jewish calendar) Pessah starts since the sunset of March, 29 and lasts till April, 6.
What was so special about Purim this year? Let us resort to statistics. Though many people consider it to be dull, still it's the best way to find out the truth, the real attitude of people towards what is going on. More than 1000 people took part in the Purim events organized in the Minsk Jewish Campus! More over lots of people attended activities outside the campus: “Warm Homes” (meetings at somebody's place where participants gather to welcome Shabbat, celebrate Jewish holidays, etc.), Purim performance at the Minsk Jewish kindergarten, events in the Jewish religious communities and organizations of Minsk. Isn't it impressive? The most important thing is that everybody, young and old alike, enjoyed the holiday.
Nothing
proves it better than the numerous pictures taken during the Purim
events. These photos will probably point you what Minsk Jewish Campus visitors
liked above all about the Purim? If you have some materials on this topic including photos, stories, poems, etc., you are welcome to send them to contact@meod.by (picture size should not exceed 2MB). We would be glad to place them on the site of the Minsk Jewish Campus.

At 73, he still is what his father had been all his life: dedicated communist and convinced internationalist. Named after Friedrich Engels, Karl Marx’s pal and accomplice in their abortive attempts to overthrow the reign of misappropriated surplus value, he still mourns the USSR and blames those who emigrate for a better living in Israel, in the USA or, even worse, in Germany.
