“The Stars Dnipro project opened the new academic year thanks to the initiative of the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro Shmuel Kaminetsky and with the help of the head of Stars Ukraine Rabbi Pinchas Vyshedsky
in the new season, training will be held in full-time format in two programs: "Stars Basis", designed for two hours a week, and "Stars Intensive" - ​​for eight hours a week.

It is very symbolic that the academic year of the Stars Dnipro project began exactly on Elul 18, because, as you know, the first day of classes
18 Elul began in the famous yeshiva "Tomchei-Tmimim", and the first 18 students were selected by the Fifth Lubavitcher Rebbe Sholom Dov-Ber.

20 Jewish guys and girls came to the opening of the season, who during the year increase their knowledge in the study of the Torah and come closer in fulfilling the commandments.

We held an interactive marathon that lasted from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur. The purpose of this online interactive was to prepare properly for the upcoming New Year and help the participants to fulfill the commandments, as well as to enable Jews to participate, wherever they are.

Among the participants, we had 3 age categories and as a result, 25 children aged 6 to 12 years old, 20 teenagers from 13 to 17 years old and 40 students and parents of children joined us for the marathon. A total of 85 people took part.

A large holiday program organized by the Jewish community of Dnipro, together with STL and Jewish school #144, brought together more than 100 children and their parents in order to fulfill the 2 most important commandments of the Sukkot holiday: netilat lulav and a meal in a sukkah.
The program of the celebration also included:
Animated quiz on Sukkot traditions for kids, a workshop where children made lamps to decorate a house or a sukkah, exciting detective games for juniors, with tea and mulled wine, a fire, barbecue, soulful conversations, games and pleasant surprises in the family's home sukkah Lazarev for teens.

As part of the "STARS" program, 17 students attended a meal in a sukkah and performed the netilat lulav commandment. Also during the farbrengen, our leading lecturers conducted Torah lessons and told spiritual mayses.

At the first meeting for kids (these are children from 6 to 12 years old), we held a lesson on the weekly chapter of Noah, active games with madrichs, where children got to know each other better, memorized or recalled the names of the guys with whom they will be together on programs and in camps for a whole year . We also visited a show quest, where we completed rallying tasks and earned gold coins.

With teenagers 13-15 years old, we set up a hot dog bar, where everyone could cook a kosher treat for themselves or a friend to taste, and then we all went bowling together. One of the guys who came was already 13 years old, but had never put on tefillin, so with the help of our student Natan Lazarev, he was able to do it for the first time.

In total, 23 children and teenagers visited our opening, more to come, we are growing and are always happy to see and take care of our children!
