Ilan Club and their youngest group leaders opened the club for fall. Children returning from the summer camps were full of emotion, and the counselors were filled just as much with enthusiasm and new ideas.

On September 18 the Ilan club officially opened for the fall and about 30 of our youngest friends turned out for the event. The first activity was getting to know the new club members and the counselors. During the activities session the children participated in skits where children’s favorite things were showcased–cartoons, music, games, etc. During play the children had the chance to introduce themselves to the group and to play as teams. After the skit there was our weekend ceremony and a symbolic dinner with many delicious items.

Knafaim Club under their new coordinator Aleksandra Kurpatova began the season with a significant group of adolescents. On September 16 the ceremony to open the club for the season was held and there was a lot of discussion of the last summer, what might be interesting to club members in the future, what could be changed for the better and what sort of new ideas to put into practice. The young people are quite active and they played educational games to sharpen the intellect and teach teamwork. The event was followed by food and the Sabbath ceremony.
