Jewish orthodoxes drive their children
Jewish orthodoxes came to bow to a religious sanctuary - the place where the Hasidism founder Baal Shem Tov was buried. Hasids amuse their children at local attraction driving a wheelchair near Medzybozh situated about 350 km West from Kiev, Tuesday, May 25, 2004. That day Hasids all over the world came to Medzybozh to celebrate the beginning of annual fest Shavuot, the day which commemorates the receiving of the Ten Commandments by Jewish people at Mount Sinai. Rabbi Yisrael Baal Shem Tov has been living in XVIII century. He is the author of the book "Tania" that served as a background for Hasidism.
