“Beit Zindlicht”: An Evening for Mothers in Honor of Rosh Chodesh Adar

At the “Beit Zindlicht” Children’s Educational Center, the leading early childhood institution of the Dnipro Jewish Community, a special evening was held for mothers and grandmothers in honor of Rosh Chodesh Adar. The gathering took place in a warm, heartfelt atmosphere and was more than just a festive event—it was an important part of the kindergarten’s systematic educational work, aimed at strengthening ties with the families of the children and creating a unified space of shared values and education.

The evening’s program was designed so that every participant felt part of a collective circle. The mothers enjoyed practical advice from a psychologist, a hands-on workshop, and warm conversation over tea, coffee, and refreshments. In a relaxed and cozy setting, they spoke about inner well-being, about joy as a spiritual resource for the month of Adar, and about how to maintain harmony in the family, helping children grow up confident and open-hearted.

The organizers placed special emphasis on the fact that the gathering was addressed specifically to mothers. At “Beit Zindlicht,” they firmly believe that a child’s full development is impossible without active interaction between family and educational center. Such events allow parents to deepen their understanding of the values underpinning the educational process, to feel connected to the life of the kindergarten, and to become active participants in a shared endeavor. This partnership enhances the impact of education, helps unlock each child’s potential, and fosters an atmosphere of trust and collaboration.

Nataliya Proshchenko, director of “Beit Zindlicht,” highlighted the special significance of the event: “The evening turned out to be truly warm and unifying, another step toward creating a cohesive space where family and kindergarten work in harmony, supporting one another and feeling themselves part of our united and cohesive Dnipro Jewish Community under the leadership of Chief Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki.”
