We at Hillel TLV are happy to invite students to our annual "Novy God" event and welcome together the year of 2025.
*****
Novy god, which translates to "New Year" in Russian, refers to the celebration of the New Year and is celebrated in Russia and many Slavic countries. In Israel, over a million Russian speaking Jews from diverse cultural backgrounds celebrate Novy God, despite it not being part of a Jewish tradition. Novy God, is a wonderful familial and cultural tradition that marks a time of joy, hope, and new beginnings.
Even if you don't have Soviet roots, you are invited to experience an authentic "Novy God" with a colorful table, a "Novy God" tree, music and gifts from Ded Moroz, the soviet frozen grandpa!
Bring your traditional food, the rest is on us!
