Donersk, Ukraine –- There are few things more touching in the life of a school than the final ceremony for its graduating students. On this occasion, senior pupils of the 'Ohr Menachem' Jewish Day School took this opportunity to bid farewell to their native and beloved school. The Donetsk Jewish community is proud of its graduates, many of whom will go on to pursue higher education at prestigious universities in Ukraine and various institutions abroad.

The event, which involved schoolchildren, their families and other members of the Donetsk Jewish community, was a joyous and interesting occasion for all participants. Like all schools in the Former Soviet Union, the last day of school involved the ringing of the 'Last Bell', signifying the end of yet another academic year.
