A Russian cafe for kids in Jerusalem's Book Fair

.

Off in the Russian books corner, in a sweet little cafe setting, young kids found one place to enjoy themselves at Jerusalem's recent International Book Fair.

Some were doing craft activities with a mom or dad.
Some were dressed up in props, e.g. babooshkas, I guess in order to do some role playing.
But the religious kids were glued to the screen, where I think a Russian fairytale was being shown.
It was their one chance, because strict Orthodox Jewish homes have no television.

  7. I find it so interesting to know that in Israel it's compulsory to use solar energy for water heating Dina, it's not compulsory here but so many people do it just because it makes so much sense and it saves money.

  15. Friends, I hate to disappoint you, but when I said "a sweet little cafe SETTING," I didn't mean it was a real cafe with coffee. It was just a pretend cafe at the week-long International Book Fair.
