Jewish Kindergarten Expands in Omsk

In the west Siberian city of Omsk, the Chaya Mushka Kindergarten has opened a new group for children. On its first day of operation, parents came to spend a few hours with their children at the kindergarten, where Chief Rabbi of Omsk Osher Krichevsky spoke to them. "Thank you for entrusting us with what is most precious to you - your children. We are very pleased to welcome them here.”
The Chaya Mushka Kindergarten, which recently celebrated its sixth anniversary, is housed in the same beautiful modern building as the Ohr Avner Chabad Day School which has 110 students. The kindergarten occupies a separate wing of the building and is comprised of four groups. Outside, the youngsters enjoy a well-equipped and safe playground. Inside, the children benefit from the best pre-school education the city has to offer, in addition to modern equipment and safe conditions for the children to learn and feel comfortable in.
Rabbi Krichevsky expressed gratitude for the ongoing assistance and support of FJC President Lev Leviev and to Mikhail Mirilashvili, founder and president of the Mirilashvili Foundation. He also thanked Gennady Friedman, the chairman of the Jewish community of Omsk and other sponsors of the Jewish school. The support of all of these individuals has enabled the school to develop and accept new students, as well as to introduce new programs.
Rabbi Krichevsky wished success and well-being to everyone present and expressed hope that the youngsters would be happy at their new kindergarten. Irina Zeitlin, the head of the pre-school department, showed the newcomers into their classroom and introduced them to their new teacher and nanny.
