🌞Today, on this sunny day, an interesting and necessary stage in the life of our Community began. Having won a mini-grant for the project "Uniting Generations: Jewish Travel", we were able to open the doors to a unique experience that unites the hearts and minds of people of different ages. ☝Today, the first trip took place, during which members of the Community went to Rashkov - a place where different religions and cultures intertwine, creating a unique atmosphere. This excursion not only introduced the participants to Jewish history and culture, but also revealed many fascinating stories and legends associated with this picturesque corner. 🌲🌳The nature around was magnificent, and the sunny weather only enhanced the pleasure of the trip. Participants, full of emotions and impressions, happily shared their thoughts and discoveries. And a delicious lunch was a pleasant addition to a busy day, returning strength and filling hearts with warmth. 🤝Tired but satisfied, all participants returned home full of new knowledge and strong connections. This day was not just a trip, but an important step towards strengthening intergenerational ties and deepening understanding of the cultural heritage of the Jewish people. 🫶Our volunteers Volunteer Center RVC are preparing a short film about this wonderful place so that all members of the Community can see these beautiful places and open a historical page of the village of Rashkov. ☝New trips await us ahead, follow the announcements and join us! #RVC #HesedTiraspol #JDC
Today our young activists from AJT JUNIOR prepared for the holiday of SUKKOT. 🇮🇱 The guys talked about the history and traditions of the holiday, about 4 arba'a minim (4 types of plants), about why it is so important for us to build a Sukkah and how to do it correctly. And of course, they made their own mini models of Sukkah. #JDC #AJTTIR #jewishtradition #sukkot
The tenth day of the New Year is approaching - the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur, Hebrew: יוֹם כִּיפּוּר) - the day of Atonement for sins and the Supreme Judgment.

🤝 In April, we announced the launch of our new project — the Call Center. And now, seeing how it is gradually gaining momentum, we feel proud that we can support our community. ☝️ It is important to remember that among us there are elderly people for whom communication is not just a pleasant pastime, but a real urgent need. Many of them, due to age and health, rarely leave their homes, and our project becomes a source of warmth and care for them. Once a week, our volunteers call, ask about their lives, hobbies, and reminisce with them about the past. These conversations are not just communication, they are a bridge connecting hearts and souls. ☝️ A special role in our project is played by a psychologist-supervisor, who provides volunteers with the necessary practical help and emotional support. Meetings of volunteers with a supervisor are held twice a month, and one of such meetings took place yesterday. The participants discussed the important topic of anxiety, which so often haunts the elderly. Sharing experiences, recommendations and advice allowed everyone to better understand how we can support our community members in these difficult times. ☎Every call, every meeting is a step towards creating an atmosphere of care and warmth that our elderly friends need so much. We continue to work, and every small achievement inspires us to move on. 🫶🏾Thank you to everyone who participates in this important project! If you feel lonely and need communication and support, call us! ☎If you want to join our volunteers, please contact us by phone 77524530 Irina, 77607811 Zhanna
🎭Today's performance "The Little Prince" by the Aronetskaya Transnistrian Drama and Comedy Theater was a real gift for our volunteers at Volunteer Center RVC. This is not just an opportunity to relax, but also a chance to immerse ourselves in a world filled with deep thoughts and sincere emotions. 🎭🫶The philosophical tale made us think about the importance of friendship, love and responsibility. Each character, each scene evoked many thoughts about how we perceive the world around us and the people around us. 🤣🥳There were smiles too! The performance was filled with light humor, which helped create an atmosphere of warmth and joy. We laughed together, sharing impressions and feelings, which made the evening especially memorable. ☝️In fact, it is very important to find time for rest and inspiration. The play "The Little Prince" became not only a source of joy, but also a reason to reflect on life and its true values. 🤝We invite active and caring people to join our volunteer ranks. ☎️For information, call 77521135 Anna #HesedTirasol #RVC
The AJT JUNIOR club celebrated the Rosh Hashanah holiday in a friendly, fun, educational and very sweet way. The AJT guys celebrated the New Year 5785 visiting a family of beekeepers. 🐝 In addition to a fascinating excursion and getting to know the basics of beekeeping, the kids looked at pollen under a microscope, made candles from wax, played with rabbits and other pets, sang songs and had a lot of fun. A sweet feast with apples, honey, fruits and mint tea was a real treat for our kids 🍎. Our holiday was a great success and we hope that the New Year will be as bright in emotions and impressions as our celebration. Shana tova umetuka! 🇮🇱♥️ #AJTTIR #Roshashana #jewishtradition
The Tiraspol community, together with the communities from Dubossary and Grigoriopol, celebrated the year 5785. The Rosh Hashanah celebration was held in a warm, truly family atmosphere. During this special time of spiritual renewal and communication with loved ones, those gathered at the festive table with traditional treats remembered the past year and made plans for the future, hoping for a blessing. Heartfelt conversations, live music, national songs in Hebrew and Yiddish gave everyone a sense of unity and harmony. The event also featured an exhibition-fair, where everyone could purchase one of the main attributes of the holiday - honey, as well as handicrafts made by our volunteers with the symbols of Rosh Hashanah. We wish everyone peace, health and prosperity in the New Year. #JDC #Roshashana #jewishtradition
🫶Today, representatives of the older generation of our community gathered on the banks of the Dniester to perform the tashlikh ceremony. This event has become not just a tradition, but a sincere impulse of the soul. 🍎Volunteers from the RVC Volunteer Center talked about the meaning of the ceremony on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, held an educational quiz that caused smiles and sincere conversations. 🙏Everyone could feel the importance of the moment when, saying prayers, everyone threw crumbs into the water - a symbol of cleansing from sins and the beginning of a new path. Prayer during this ceremony is a reminder of how full of dangers the life of fish is, how easily they can get caught on a hook or in fishing nets. So our life is full of traps and temptations. 🍎🍯Traditional treats - apples and honey, prepared by caring volunteers - added sweetness to this day, and postcards from young volunteers from Bendery became a real decoration of the holiday. These heartfelt greetings, filled with warmth and care, touched the depths of the soul and brought smiles to the faces of those present. 🤲This day became a bright reminder of how important it is to take care of each other, share joy and maintain traditions. Every moment was imbued with respect and love, creating an atmosphere that is impossible to forget. #JDC #RVC #HesedTirasol
