In the psychological support center "Or Shalom," a three-day painting workshop was organized for students of "Stars Dnipro." Over these few days, around 12 of our students attended the workshop, investing profound meaning into their paintings, which they tried to convey with colors. The works turned out truly beautiful and vibrant, and now they hang in the center of "Or Shalom," where every visitor can contemplate their beauty.

On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the festival of the two luminaries on the 18th of Elul, a group of women, including our students from the "Stars Ukraine" program, went on a journey to the resting place of the Alter Rebbe to pray.
At the righteous one's gravesite, they sought his protection before the Almighty, prayed for peace in Ukraine and worldwide, and for a favorable inscription in the Book of Life. In Hadyach itself, the women had a wonderful farbrengen with Sheina Smilansky and Daniela Lestengurt, where they absorbed energy, sang nigunim that united everyone, and it became a beautiful conclusion to the Akel year.

We organized a 4-day day camp, already beloved by everyone.
Morning prayers, games with counselors, fun activities and lessons, love and care – we managed to fit all of this into such a short period of time.
More than 30 children left satisfied and happy, and we are already prepared to delight them with our upcoming projects.

In Dnipro, a Sukkot party for teenagers took place on the rooftop of the "Menorah." About 20 participants gathered to fulfill one of the main commandments of the holiday – the waving of the lulav – and to have a fun time.
Initially, the teens enjoyed a delicious and kosher meal in the sukkah, during which they divided into two teams and, in a game format, tested their knowledge of the holiday. Later, they competed against each other on amusement rides.
To conclude the event, the results were announced:
The winning team earned tasty prizes, and the grand prize – an electric scooter in the lottery – was won by Vasilisa Cherepakhina.

Sukkot was celebrated at "Stars Dnipro," a project of the Jewish Community of Dnipro in the field of informal education for youth, supported by STL. This year, the party emphasized the importance of unity among all Jews, bringing students and teachers together.
For the first time in the "Stars" project, there was a joint party for students and teachers. In the beautiful sukkah on the roof of the "Menorah," we all gathered to fulfill the three main commandments of Sukkot: waving the lulav, having a festive meal in the sukkah, and rejoicing. The "Stars" participants and our teachers have long become a united family, and during the holidays, a family should be together. We started with a small but meaningful lesson from Rabbi Moishe Noyman, who once again emphasized the idea of joy in Sukkot. And who are we to argue with a teacher? So, we immediately went on to have fun, play on rides, dance, play guitars, and earn points for our teams.
