In the informal education space on the 8th floor of the Menorah Center, a men’s lesson was held for the youth project “Menorah Community” of the Jewish Community of Dnepr, implemented by the Zislin family, which was dedicated to the meaning and significance of clothing.
More than thirty young people gathered for this meeting, and the honorary guest of the lesson was the president of the Menorah Community, member of the Board of Trustees of the Jewish Community of Dnepr, Nathan Zolotarevsky, and the lesson itself was conducted by the project’s rabbi, Reuven Kaminetsky.
“We discussed the weekly chapter of Tetzaveh and talked about the importance of clothing in our lives – not only as an external attribute, but also as a symbol of a person’s internal state,” Levi Zislin, head of the Menorah Community project, told our website. “In Judaism, clothing has an important meaning, it emphasizes our identity, helps us understand our place in the world and our attitude to the spiritual. I especially remember the story of Nathan Zolotarevsky, who shared an interesting maysa that not only made us think, but also provoked a lively discussion. The lesson was not only meaningful, but also lively – discussions, questions, reflections… Each participant took away new ideas and inspiration. We are waiting for everyone at the next meetings!”
