When people move to another country, they face various difficulties and trials. New language, new rules of communication, searching for work and housing – these are real challenges for almost every new immigrant. If our family, those who love us and who are ready to support and comfort us, stand together with us – any stress, any difficulty becomes easier to overcome. “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken,” – the scriptures teaches us. We, as a community, understand the special role of the family not only for its members, but also for society, and for the Jewish nation as well. On the 5th of the February, at the event dedicated to National Family Day at the “Returned to Zion” congregation, were invited new immigrant families, some of which had just arrived in the country. Funny contests and songs, the sweet treats – all these helped decorate a festive evening, but the focus of this event was, of course, on prayer and on a short message about family through the eyes of the Tanakh (the Bible).
