Russian Video: Figure Skating Olympic Gold - 100!

It is 100 years since Russia won its first ever Olympic gold medal. On October 29, 1908, a young man named Nikolay Panin-Kolomenkin triumphed in the figure skating competition at the London Olympics. It was a performance that was to change the course of ice skating forever.

Do you like figure skating? Have you ever try to do it?

Best wishes and let's thing positively about winter what is coming soon,

Russian Video: Muslim Magomaev (3)

Hello,

We continue our series of Muslim Magomaev. There are some people on YouTube whose new videos I publish always. One of such people is Vostorgina01.

She wrote:
On 25 October, Muslim Magometovich Magomaev, one of the most loved Russian pop and opera singers died. There is no Russian alive who has not heard his artistry and loves it.

I did not wish to make a "sad" tribute to Muslim Magometovich, for it would not be what he would wish. This song is in honour of our Russian sportsmen and coaches. It is the sort of positive message that he always sent. He was never a distant celebrity or a disconsolate brooder. Let us do the same.

God give you rest, Muslim Magometovich, you enriched our lives so much.

Spare a prayer for the soul of a great man today, if you would.

Russian Video is back from vacations!

Hello,

We are partly (because Kyle is still stuck in Kiev) back home from our fairy trip to Israel. In Israel we spend unbelievably wonderful time with Chelita and her husband Misha (They are living in Israel for 18 years already)

These two videos are made by Chelita. I am republishing them to let you feel how it was there! ;)
That's so incredible to find such friends (in Internet by the way), and they became our second family (parents). The old lady in the first video is Chelita's mother she is 96 years old!

We wish you such friends like Chelita and Misha,

Russian Video: Uman! Rosh Hashana!!

Hello,

We have a very interesting documentary video in our collection. This video shows that thousands of Jews come to one little Ukrainian town Uman to celebrate there Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year). Yes I wanted to publish it tonight -- but this documentary was in Russian so I found a better one in Hebrew! [Think that for most of our readers Hebrew is the same strange language as Russian but this video is interesting to watch because it shows us the festival from inside point of view!]

For our readers who wants to know more why all these Jews come to celebrate Rosh Hashana in Ukraine town Uman:

Uman is the burial place of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, the Rebbe of the Breslov group of Hasidic Jews. Rabbi Nachman spent the end of his life in Uman, and specifically requested to be buried there. During Rosh Hashanah (The Jewish New Year) there is a major pilgrimage by Breslov Hasidim and others to visit the grave in Uman; this has increased in recent years to the point where some 30,000 chassidim attend each year (mainly men). This practice dates back to 1811, the year after Rabbi Nachman was buried in Uman. The Rebbe told his hassidim, before he died, that they should join him for Rosh Hashana, and this is why the devout Breslov Hassidim still visit him every year for the Jewish new year.

Readers who want to know even more can read Rabbi Nachman's Strories.

Best wishes,
