Thirteen students spent Shavuot in Belarus this past spring. They celebrated Yom Tov with youngsters, teenagers and the elderly in the barren cities of Minsk and Pinsk.

They inspired everyone they met and in turn realized the power they have to share the beauty of Judaism.  Click on, “Belarus: A Celebratory Journey” to watch a short film that offers a glimpse of this amazing trip.
