🕯️ ЙОМ-КИПУР — ДЕНЬ ИСКУПЛЕНИЯ Йом-Кипур — самый священный день еврейского календаря и кульминация Десяти дней раскаяния, начинающихся с Рош ха-Шана. Это не просто день поста. Это время для молитвы, самоанализа, раскаяния, прощения и примирения — с близкими, с другими людьми и с Всевышним. 🤍 ✨ Перед Йом-Кипуром важно: • попросить прощения у тех, кого мы могли обидеть, и постараться простить других; • завершить важные дела; • подготовиться к посещению синагоги и молитвам; • заранее пить достаточно воды; • перед постом съесть сытную, но не слишком тяжёлую трапезу, не переедая. 🍽️ Во время Йом-Кипура традиционно воздерживаются от: • еды и питья; • умывания и купания ради удовольствия; • использования масел, кремов и косметических средств ради удовольствия; • ношения кожаной обуви; • супружеской близости. 🌙 Когда начинается Йом-Кипур? Йом-Кипур начинается до захода солнца накануне и заканчивается после наступления ночи следующего дня, когда на небе видны звёзды. 🕍 Коль Нидрей — особая молитва, с которой начинается вечерняя служба Йом-Кипура. 🙏 Нэила — заключительная молитва дня, символизирующая завершение Йом-Кипура и последних часов поста. 📯 Шофар — его звук возвещает окончание Йом-Кипура и поста. 🍎 После поста совершается авдала, после чего наступает время разговения. Начать лучше с воды и лёгкой пищи, а затем постепенно перейти к обычной трапезе. 💙 Пусть этот Йом-Кипур станет временем мира, примирения, искреннего раскаяния и внутреннего обновления. Гмар хатима това! Пусть каждый будет записан и запечатан в Книге жизни на добрый год. 🕊️ 📌 Сохраните этот пост, чтобы подготовиться к Йом-Кипуру заранее, и поделитесь им с близкими.

🏠 «Тёплый дом» — место, где рады каждому! ❤️ К сожалению, Дневной центр Хэсэда был закрыт. Для многих представителей старшего поколения это означало потерю не просто горячего обеда, но и очень важной возможности встречаться, общаться и проводить время вместе. Но мы решили продолжить эти встречи! 🤝 Активные члены общины и волонтёры объединились, чтобы создать новое направление — «Тёплый дом». На этой неделе уже состоялись две встречи. 🌷 Женщины мастерили забавных медвежат из полотенец, пили чай и делились новостями. На другой встрече участники дружно занимались яблоками 🍎: наш волонтёр Александр С. передал два ведра яблок со своего дачного участка, а женщины за три часа нарезали их для сушки. А мужчины тем временем играли в настольные игры, пили чай и неспешно беседовали. ☕🎲 И главное — все участники говорили о том, как им важны эти встречи. Ведь «Тёплый дом» — это не только занятия и чаепития. Это общение, забота и ощущение, что рядом есть свои люди. ❤️ Подробнее см.https://vox.jct.md/tyopliy-dom-kogda-vstrechi-prodolzhayutsya Volunteer Center RVC #rvc

✡️ Шаббат Шалом ! שבת שלום 🕓 В Приднестровье 🕯️ Зажигание свечей: 18:49 Шаббат Шува Глава А-Азину Авдала: 19:51 Вечер Дня Раскаяния Зажигание свечей: 18:45 ✅ На этой неделе читают главу «А-Азину» — это поэма Моше, в которой он обращается к народу перед своей смертью. В ней он напоминает: миром правит справедливость, а верность добру приносит жизнь и благословение. Глава учит не забывать свои ошибки, но и не терять надежду на исправление. Это важно и сегодня: слова и память могут вести человека к ответственности, благодарности и внутреннему росту. ❤️ Желаем всем мирной, тихой и благословенной субботы! Пусть в ваших душах будет спокойствие, а на сердце легко.

Накануне Рош а-Шана прошла добрая традиция — наши подопечные из категории жертв нацизма получили праздничные подарки: ароматные яблоки и мёд. Для многих пожилых людей, переживших тяжёлые испытания, такой подарок — гораздо больше, чем просто продукты к праздничному столу. Это знак внимания, заботы и напоминание о том, что в преддверии Нового года еврейской традиции они не остаются одни. Яблоки и мёд занимают особое место на праздничном столе Рош а-Шана. В этот день принято есть яблоко, обмакнутое в мёд, и желать друг другу сладкого и доброго года. Сладость мёда символизирует надежду на то, что наступающий год принесёт больше радости, здоровья, благополучия и хороших событий. Это простая, но очень тёплая традиция, в которой соединяются вера, надежда и пожелание добра. Чтобы эта традиция пришла в каждый дом, кураторы Хэсэда развозили праздничные наборы нашим подопечным по городам Приднестровья. Для кого-то это очень — долгожданный визит человека, которого знают и которому доверяют. Особенно важно такое внимание для пожилых людей, многие из которых живут одни и не всегда имеют возможность посещать общинные мероприятия. Праздничные яблоки и мёд становятся поводом открыть дверь, поговорить, поздравить с праздником и почувствовать связь с общиной. Рош а-Шана — время, когда принято желать друг другу «Шана това у-метука» — хорошего и сладкого года. И пусть этот небольшой праздничный подарок станет для наших подопечных именно таким пожеланием — пожеланием здоровья, тепла, внимания близких и добрых событий в новом году. Пусть сладость мёда останется не только на праздничном столе, но и в каждом сердце. #JDC

🍎🍯 Rosh Hashanah—a holiday that unites! Last week, volunteers at Hesed held an online meeting, "A Holiday in Every Home," dedicated to the Jewish New Year. Songs and greetings were sung, participants watched engaging videos, learned about Rosh Hashanah traditions, and created a festive atmosphere together. 💻 Such meetings are especially important for those who live far from Hesed or who, due to health reasons, are unable to attend community events. Thanks to the online format, the holiday truly comes to every home—to where it is awaited. And at the synagogue, volunteers set a festive table. The caring hands of our women prepared many delicious dishes, and news, memories, and good conversations filled the air. Participants shared impressions of the festive events and simply rejoiced at the opportunity to be together. ❤️ Rosh Hashanah reminded us: community is, above all, people who care for each other and help each other feel part of a big, shared home. Shana tova u-metuka! Have a happy and sweet new year! 🍎🍯 Read more at https://vox.jct.md/post/preview/rosh-kha-shana-prazdnik-kotoriy-prikhodit-v-kazhdiy-dom Volunteer Center RVC #RVC

🍎Rosh Hashanah – a time to share and support each other 🍎🍯 On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, our volunteers prepared for the community holiday and created the atmosphere of the coming New Year with their own hands. ✡This time, they baked traditional round challahs and prepared and packaged dried fruits for a charity event held at a community event. All proceeds will go toward the development of our community. 🤍 But, of course, the volunteers didn't forget those who especially need attention and care. Some of the festive round challahs went to the tables of our beneficiaries. After all, challah isn't just about honoring tradition. It's also an opportunity to share warmth, show care, and make someone feel remembered. 🕯️🥖 It's at moments like these that you truly understand that a community isn't just the people who come to events. It's the people who are willing to give a piece of their time, energy, work, and resources for the sake of others. 🫶We'd like to express special gratitude to Viktor Aleksandrovich Obukhov and Anna Nikolaevna Obukhova, who brought wine to the festive table. 🍷 Thank you for your support and willingness to contribute to the overall festive atmosphere! 🫶Everyone can help develop their community in different ways. Some volunteer, some donate food for charity events, some share surplus fruits, vegetables, or the results of their labor, and still others support community events. You don't have to do something big. Sometimes it's the small contribution of each person that creates a great common cause. 🤝 🙏Rosh Hashanah is a time to take stock and make plans for the new year. And perhaps this is a good time to ask yourself: 👉«How can I help my community? What can I do for the people around me?» 💫May the new year give each of us the opportunity not only to receive warmth and support, but also to share it with others. Shana tova umetuka! 🍎🍯✨ 👉If after reading this story you thought: «I also want to help the community in some way, but I don’t know where to start» – just contact us. 🫶Perhaps you have time to volunteer, food you are willing to share, surplus harvest, a desire to help at events, or knowledge and skills that could be useful to others. 📞 Contact us and find out how you can get involved: 775 21135 Anna 👉It doesn’t matter how much time or opportunities you are willing to give. What matters is the desire to be part of the community and do good. ❤️ Together we can do so much more! https://vox.jct.md/rosh-kha-shana-vremya-delitsya-i-podderzhivat-drug-druga Volunteer Center RVC #rvc #JDC

🍎🍯 Rosh Hashanah—a holiday that united generations! ✨ On this day, we truly felt like one big family. Children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and our dear elders gathered together. There were lots of smiles, warm encounters, music, dancing, conversation, and a truly festive spirit. Our teenagers actively participated in the program, helping, performing, and creating a special atmosphere. The children rejoiced, the adults socialized, and the older generation happily joined in the celebration—and it all turned out to be very lively, warm, and truly family-like. It was especially valuable to see how easily different generations came together. When children and adults laugh together, when young people help their elders, when people of different ages gather around the same table—that's when you especially feel that the connection between generations is more than just words. It's what our community lives and breathes. ❤️ Thank you to everyone who was there, who helped, performed, danced, chatted, and made this day so bright and heartfelt. May the year 5787 bring peace, health, joy, and many more such kind gatherings to every home. 🍎🍯 Shana tova u-metuka! שנה טובה ומתוקה! ✨

🍎🍯 Getting ready for Rosh Hashanah together! 🥖✨ On the eve of the holiday, Hesed was in full swing! Volunteers and our teenagers from AJT teamed up to bake festive round challahs. This was a new experience for the kids—it was their first time baking like this. The volunteers helped, shared secrets, and talked about traditions. Before starting the work, they said a prayer. 🙏 It's especially valuable that traditions are passed down from generation to generation through shared efforts. 🤝💙 On Sunday, at a community event, everyone will be able to try our challahs and also purchase sweet holiday challahs for home or for loved ones. Proceeds from the charity event will go toward the development of our community. 🥖 Baking challahs has already become a good tradition in our Hesed! Together we create the holiday—together we preserve the traditions! ✨ Shana tova umetuka! 🍎🍯 For more information, see https://vox.jct.md/khali-kotorie-obedinyayut-pokoleniya-podgotovka-k-rosh-kha-shana-v-obshchine #RVC #JDC Volunteer Center RVC

🍎🍯 Tashlich by the Dniester — welcoming the New Year with good thoughts! On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, our Hesed volunteers organized a warm, festive gathering for the community's elderly clients. 🌿 The meeting place was the bank of the Dniester — a wonderful place for communication, smiles, and good wishes. Volunteers prepared fun interactive games for the participants, which brought a good mood and many pleasant emotions. Time flew by with conversations and jokes. And then came the time for one of the important Rosh Hashanah traditions — tashlich. The tradition of tashlich is associated with the symbolic release of all the bad things that one wants to leave behind from the past year. By the water, participants shook out crumbs, as if releasing along with them grievances, disappointments, and unpleasant experiences. ✨ May all the hardships be left behind, and may more joy, peace, and bright events lie ahead! After the tashlikh, everyone was treated to a traditional holiday treat—sweet apples with honey. 🍎🍯 Participants wished each other health, happiness, prosperity, and warmth. Such gatherings are not only an opportunity to preserve and experience Jewish traditions, but also a wonderful opportunity to be together. Special thanks to our volunteers, who create an atmosphere of care, attention, and a true holiday for the older generation. ❤️ May the new year bring everyone many kind encounters, pleasant events, and reasons to smile! Shana tova umetuka! — Have a good and sweet year! 🍎🍯✨ For more details, see https://vox.jct.md/tashlikh-u-dnestra-vstrechaem-noviy-god-s-dobrimi-mislyami #rvc Volunteer Center RVC #jdc #rvc #jdc Volunteer Center RVC

Let there be peace in your souls and lightness in your hearts.

🍎 How to properly prepare for Rosh Hashanah? SAVE AND SHARE WITH LOVED ONES! Rosh Hashanah is more than just the Jewish New Year. It's a time to pause, look back on the past year, and consider how we want to enter the new one. Preparation isn't just about the festive table. A few simple steps will help you celebrate the holiday calmly and mindfully. 🕯️ Check the holiday and candle-lighting times in your city in advance, find out the prayer schedule, and prepare a machzor if you're going to synagogue. 🛒 Don't put everything off until the last day: shopping, cooking, holiday clothes, and everything else you need are best prepared in advance. ❤️ Think about your loved ones. If you've been meaning to call someone, thank them, or ask for forgiveness, now is the time to take the first step. 📝 Set aside 15–20 minutes for heshbon ha-nefesh, or personal reflection. Reflect on the past year and write down what was good, what you learned, and what you want to change. 🤲 Don't forget about tzedakah. Before the holiday, you can make a donation or help someone who really needs it. 🍎 And on Rosh Hashanah itself, try to truly be in the moment: hear the shofar, pray, spend time with loved ones, and feel the beginning of a new year. And the main question you can take with you is: "What kind of person do I want to be this year?" 🍯🍎 Rosh Hashanah טובה ומתוקה Have a good and sweet year! Save our carousel with 10 steps to preparing for Rosh Hashanah and send it to those you want to celebrate the New Year with. Participate in a charity drive at a community event!
