Hanukkah. The Jewish Festival of Lights.

 Hanukkah is the Jewish word for 'dedication'. It is the Jewish Festival of Lights and it remembers the rededication of the second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. This happened in the 160s BC (before Jesus was born).
 Hanukkah last for eight days. It can happen from late November to late December.During Hanukkah, on each of the eight nights, a candle is lit in a special menorah (candelabra) called a 'hanukkiyah'.There is a special  candle called the 'shammash'  which is used to light the other candles. The shammash is often in the  center of the other candles and has a higher position.  A special blessing, thanking God, is said before or after lighting the candles and a special Jewish hymn is often sung. 
 The menorah is put in the front window of houses so people passing can see the lights and remember the story of Hanukkah. Most Jewish family and households have a special menorah and celebrate Hanukkah.
 Hanukkah is also a time for giving and receiving presents and gifts are often given on each night. Lots of games are played during the time of Hanukkah.

Gender roles in family

In Armenia always breadwinner of the family is a man and the caretaker for the kids is woman. The gender roles are changing rarely. For that must be serious reasons. Nowadays the feminists like to live radical lifestyles, but it is often come hinder to implement parental responsibilities. In my country  women try to spend a lot of time with kids.

my presentation

Presentation

I would like to tell you about my job, how I started doing this, what I have done, and what I would like to do in future. I studied 3 years in college and 4 years in the university as an engineer. It was an interesting experience, but it didn’t inspire me. I worked very short, only a year, and then my daughter was born. I wanted to raise her myself because I am very restless mother. And then my secon daughter was born, and I was sitting at home again. I needed an interesting occupation at home. Once I made some jewelry for myself and people noticed that. Then I started making them for my friends and sisters. Finally I found my style, the style that no one had created before. In my works I use different materials combinations, like linen tied, leather gemstones, paints, dried flowers, epoxy and stuff.

 When I could make accessories with high enough quality I needed to sell them. And now I needed a market for my products. There are lot of souvenirs and gift shops in our country. I went there one by one and presented my products. And for this business, aside making high quality products, I also needed presentation and negotiation skills.

I was invited to different exhibitions and also I gave some master classes for children and adults.

Some clients were ordering something specific. That is much more hard task to create something that other person has imagined.

Once a woman came to me. She told me a story about her little grandson who pulled a hot kettle and she managed to grip it, but as a result she burned her wrist and a big scar remained. She wanted me to create a bracelet, which would cover her burned skin, would be suitable to all clothing styles, would have a colour suitable with maximum other colors, would be elastic and without rivets, and also wide. You need to think a lot to make your client happy. 

Accessories which I make now are short-lived and they need careful treatment. My dream is to work with silver, because from that material you can make exclusive accessories which will remain for ages.
