Volunteer Center
One of the activities of our organization is volunteering. Volunteers are people who are ready to sacrifice their own time, share their professionalism, knowledge, reputation and connections for the benefit of society, without material compensation for their work.
Almost every undertaking is not complete without the help of volunteers - sincere, kind, enterprising, sympathetic people. Volunteers of “wise age” accompany the elderly within the framework of the “Peer to peer” direction, give communication and precious support, and provide all possible assistance.
Volunteers of different ages participate in creative workshops, volunteer events, inform by phone, help with the delivery of food packages and the organization of events/lectures. With the support of volunteers, minor repairs of household items are carried out, as well as assistance is provided in the local area for lonely elderly people.

Today was a special day, full of emotions and impressions! Volunteer Center RVC volunteers again covered the distance and gathered with members of our community in the city of Grigoriopol. Shabbat is not just a day off for Jews, it is a time when they give up ordinary everyday activities and devote it to God and communication with loved ones. On this day we came together to share joy and support each other. Natalia Britova, our wonderful hostess, lit the Shabbat candles and read the blessings. Then we sat down to eat and began to chat, discussing news and events in the community. It was so nice to see the smiles on the faces of everyone present, to feel the warmth and friendly atmosphere. But, of course, we could not forget about the events of Kristallnacht. On this day, we remembered the tragedy that occurred many years ago and paid tribute to the memory of those killed. ....And then the moment came when each of us began to talk about our life moments. The evening was truly a celebration of memories as we laughed, cried and shared our stories. We became even closer to each other and had a wonderful time enjoying pleasant communication. #RVC #JDC #Hesedtiraspol #volunteers #Shabbat #support #community #memories #friendship
Today there was an event from the category “The eyes are afraid, but the hands are doing.” Our Volunteer Center RVC volunteers held “Key Rings” at the MK Day Center today. The participants encountered difficulties because it was difficult to weave knots: they had to remember which lace should be folded and where. Many statements were pessimistic, but already halfway through the work enthusiasm appeared and the result brought true pleasure. This event once again confirmed that with the support and help of the people around you, you can overcome any difficulties and achieve any goals. Together we create a better future and help people develop. We are pleased to see how participants show enthusiasm and find satisfaction in achieving results. This proves that every person is capable of overcoming their limitations and realizing their potential. Everyone went home with new keychains, satisfied and happy!

Today a wonderful event took place within the walls of Hesed - the presentation of the book by Ostafiy Maina Iosifovna - our client! Everyone was in anticipation, because the autobiographical book promised to tell about the difficult fate of the author and her unshakable faith in miracles. Publisher Pavel Tereshin proudly presented the book to the public. The book describes the life difficulties that Maina Iosifovna had to face, but despite all the trials, she did not lose her love for life. Each page is filled with emotions, and the author remembers and experiences his years with warmth. Miracles accompanied the author throughout her life, and she believes that faith in them helped to overcome any difficulties. But let's not reveal all the plot twists of the book; we recommend that everyone read it for themselves. Our guest received many warm reviews about her book from those who managed to read it. Ovations, flowers, autographs and photographs as souvenirs became an integral part of this unforgettable event. The event was attended by the young poetess Ksenia, who, after reading the book, was inspired and wrote wonderful poems. She shared her creations with those present and it was a truly magical moment. The event left a lasting impression on all those present, and everyone left with a feeling of delight and inspiration. The life of Ostafiy Maina Iosifovna touched the hearts of many and everyone wanted to read her book in order to get to know the author and her experiences better.

🌿Today was a special day, full of emotions and deep memories.

Autumn is a good reason to make life brighter and more diverse! Our Volunteer Center RVC volunteers cannot live without various activities. Today we would especially like to mention Maria Zaedinova, who brought planting material and a huge number of beautiful chrysanthemum bushes. Now our territory has been transformed, and these bright flowers have become a real joy for our charges. Thanks to volunteers, we now have a cozy and pleasant place to relax and recover. The territory of Hesed has become even more attractive and harmonious. Volunteers not only decorated our space, but also gave us the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature every day. Their hands created a real paradise for our charges. #rvc #HesedTiraspol
Today our Volunteer Center RVC volunteers conducted a workshop on making keychains using the macrame technique for our elderly, and the results exceeded all expectations. The joy and pride they took in every knot they made was truly amazing to watch. These activities are of great benefit to older people. They not only develop their motor skills and coordination, but also improve their memory and concentration. Each node becomes a challenge of its own, and when they master it, it gives them great satisfaction. But the most important thing is that these activities give representatives of the golden age the opportunity to maintain their self-esteem and self-esteem. The MK participants poured their souls into every knot with such enthusiasm and zeal. And when they finished their work and left with the key rings, their faces glowed with happiness and pride. It was not just a MK, it was an introduction to the world of creativity and an opportunity to show your talent. Thank you to the volunteers for making the lives of our elderly brighter and richer. Thank you, our MK participants, for showing us that age is not a barrier to creativity and an active life. You are our heroes! #rvc #HesedTiraspol

A magnificent evening filled with energy and beauty! Our Rybnitsa clients, as part of the Volunteer Center RVC project "Bohemia", were able to plunge into the world of the wonderful performance of the ensemble "Viorica".

Last week, the Tiraspol bard Vadim Baryshnikov, introduced to the audience by our volunteer Arkady Kupershmidt, was a guest of the Volunteer Center RVC online project “Literary Lounge”. Vadim Baryshnikov is a retired military man of the Black Sea Cossack Army, and his performance of songs was simply breathtaking. Everyone enjoyed listening to his songs based on poems by such talented authors as Ladyka Larisa, Valery Kupershmidt and Vladimir Golubenko. His repertoire included patriotic, lyrical and comic songs. The listeners especially remembered the song “Graduation Waltz.” She penetrated into the very depths of the souls of those present, recalling their youthful years and all those unforgettable moments. Our guest also performed songs written under the influence of personal events, such as “Kamchatka”, “I’ll go wander around the world” and “Tango in an evening cafe”. These compositions were imbued with emotions and stories that touched the hearts of everyone present. And Vadim Baryshnikov gave us smiles and a good mood with his humorous compositions “Martisor” and “About Paris”. It was just incredibly fun and energizing! We want to express our gratitude to our guest for his emotional performance and for giving us such an unforgettable pleasure. Vadim Baryshnikov is a true talent and we look forward to enjoying his performances many more times. Thank you for this meeting, which will be remembered for a long time! #RVC #HesedTiraspol
Our active Volunteer Center RVC volunteers visited the Transnistrian Drama and Comedy Theater named after. Aronetskaya performance based on the play by N. Gogol, production "Marriage. Our Time" of the Gagauz National Theater named after. D. Tanasoglu, director Dmitry Koev. The plot of the comedy is to find a profitable groom. A merchant's daughter wants a nobleman husband, and nobleman grooms are looking for a rich bride. The main characters of the comedy are indecisive. These features reveal Gogol's psychologism: habits in a person are stronger than the desire to improve social status (bride) or improve matters (groom). The production conveyed all these nuances and problems of the characters with such ease and humor that the audience could not help but laugh. The actors easily got used to their roles and created vivid images. And the singing talents of the actors added zest to the production. There was such an atmosphere of mutual understanding and joy in the hall that it was impossible not to smile and enjoy every minute of the performance. Thank you very much to Dmitry Koev for his talent and professionalism. The production makes you think, laugh and just enjoy life. It is necessary to note the work of the entire team of actors, who made this performance a real masterpiece. Such performances not only entertain and delight the audience, but also convey important life values. The performance helped us forget about everyday problems and enjoy art. And it became a great encouragement for our volunteers. Thank you for this evening, which left many positive emotions and memories in our hearts. We look forward to new productions and the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the world of theater and art again. #RVC #HesedTiraspol
Today's day at the Bendery Fortress will be remembered by our clients for a long time! There was incredible energy in the air, filled with joy and happiness. The holiday of Sukkot brought together under its wing all people united by faith and traditions. The artists performing at this event simply captured the hearts of the audience. Their dances were so graceful and emotional that it was impossible to take your eyes off them. Every movement, every note of the song penetrated directly into the soul, evoking powerful emotions. But the best thing is that people from different Jewish communities of Transnistria were able to meet at the event. We were able to forget about the everyday hustle and bustle and unite in one big family circle. We talked a lot and enjoyed life. Each participant was part of something bigger, something great. This day reminds us of how important it is to preserve and pass on our traditions. He filled our hearts with hope and faith in a better future for all of us. #RVC #HesedTiraspol May our communities continue to come together to create moments filled with love and joy. Thanks to the Volunteer Center RVC volunteers who helped organize the trip and provided photo support for the event.

Our Volunteer Center RVC volunteers, thanks to the Jewish Community of Moldova, organized a trip to Dubossary to a rally in memory of the victims of fascism for elderly clients of Hesed and AJT Tiraspol. This is not only an act of respect for the victims, but also an opportunity to draw public attention to this tragedy. The chairman of the Dubossary Jewish Community Ozias Ukshtein and representatives of the state administration of Dubossary spoke at the meeting and spoke about those terrible events. After the meeting, Kaddish was sounded and all those present laid flowers in memory of the victims. We cannot forget what happened in the Dubossary ghetto. Jews from different cities were herded here and subjected to mass executions. Men, women, children - all became victims of the ruthless fascist regime. The Holocaust is the most terrible manifestation of fascism. Millions of innocent people died just because of their nationality. We must not forget this and must always be vigilant to prevent similar horrors in the future. Every year we come to this place to pay tribute to memory. We will never forget and will always remember those who died in Dubossary and other places affected by the Holocaust. We call on all people to remember the past and fight the ideologies that led to such horrors. Only through memory and learning can we prevent such tragedies from happening again. Let's build peace together and never forget about the victims of fascism. #hesesedtirasol #JDC #RVC
Autumn is the time for preparations. Our Volunteer Center RVC volunteers are drying apples and plums, which many elderly Hesed clients have enjoyed this winter. This is a good substitute for sweets - especially sweet dried plums. The fruit is cut and placed on a drying rack so that it can dry out and retain its flavor and nutritional properties. After drying, these fruits are packed into small bags. This project not only helps older people get tasty and healthy food for the winter, but also gives volunteers the opportunity to feel useful and contribute to charitable activities. They see how their work brings joy and benefit to other people, and this brings them satisfaction and meaning. We thank World Jewish Relief for providing the dryer and the opportunity to do such an important work. We would also like to express our gratitude to all of our volunteers who dedicate their time and effort to this project. Without them, none of this would have been possible. If you have surplus fruit or would like to join our team of volunteers, please contact us. Together we can do more and help more people. Let's together make this fall even more productive and beneficial for all of us. Phone for inquiries: 77521135 Anna #WJR #HesedTiraspol #RVC
On Rosh Hashanah, our Volunteer Center RVC volunteers organized an amazing event dedicated to one of the traditions of the Jewish people - Tashlich. This is a special day celebrated at the beginning of the Jewish New Year, and it is accompanied by the ritual of disposing of crumbs on the shore of a pond of fish. The reason for this is that, like fish that live in the water and are hidden from the eyes of men, we desire to be hidden from the evil eye. For many event participants, this was the first time they encountered this amazing tradition. Some learned for the first time that throwing crumbs into the water symbolizes getting rid of sins and bad deeds, and also makes it possible to start the new year with a clean slate. And, of course, there was a traditional treat at the event. An apple with honey is a symbol of the sweet and successful life that we all hope to live in the new year. Dates, on the other hand, symbolize the wish for many blessings and fertility in our lives. All event participants enjoyed tasting these delicacies and sharing their impressions. Many of them noted that apples with honey and dates were not only delicious, but also filled their souls with warmth and hope for a better future. They also expressed gratitude to our volunteers for the opportunity to get acquainted with such an interesting tradition and feel its deep meaning. We are glad that we were able to share this part of Jewish culture with our participants. We thank everyone who took part in our event, as well as all our volunteers who made it possible. Special thanks to the 5th grade students of the Bendery Lyceum who drew wonderful cards for the elderly for this holiday. #HesedTiraspol #RVC
