The great interest and participation in the 'Chat Evenings' organized once a week at the Büyükada Hesed LeAvraam Synagogue, made those involved in the organization proud and happy. The Hesed LeAvraam Synagogue board of directors heralded that they would keep on organizing many more innovative activities under the leadership of Chairman Kurtuluş Morhayim, who has been successfully carrying out his duty for many years with his innovative and visionary approach.
The first of the 'Chat Evenings' welcomed Rana Denizer who is the granddaughter of the actual Matilda character, whose life story takes us to the past with the well-known Netflix series 'The Club (Kulüp).
Then the guest of the 'Chat Evenings' was the writer, radio broadcaster, artist, art therapist, and dreamer Judith Liberman who has revived the fairy tale telling act in Turkey. Liberman, remarking "If we can change the stories people hear every day, we can change the world. Listening to fairy tales improves the ability to imagine intensely and powerfully. Our minds can create what is not present. Many things first happened in fairy tales, now exist in the world. If they were not imagined we couldn't have created them; that's what I believe" became the focus of the audience.
