As a celebration of the formation of the Jewish nation, Pesach (Passover) is an important event in Jewish history.

JEWISH HOUSE
Warmth of the Family Hearth

Many will remember this Pesach as the great Pesach prayer with the beautiful voices of the cantors and the seder all joining together the Jews of the capital. As always, the guests from Israel, the relatives and friends of Rabbi Zalman and Rebbizin Lea came to celebrate the holy day. They took the most active part in the preparation of the holy day and the Pesach seder itself. Meeting them in the friendly domestic surroundings, we were able to see the impressions that the community made on them during this visit in Chisinau, and heard about what changes had happened in their lives.

My Jewish Hero - by: Mendel Abelsky Age: 11

My Jewish Hero is my Saba.  In 1990 at the fall of Communism in Russia, the Lubavitcher Rebbe gave my Saba a bracha to go to Kishinev, Moldova to rebuild the Jewish community.  The Rebbe added a unique power for my Saba to be able to give brochos to other people.  My Saba at that time was not young. 

On December 19th, a festive concert “The Lights of Chanucka”, sanctified to this splendid holiday, took place in the Kishinev theatre named after Chekhov.
