The annual congresses of the Hungarian Association have been organized since 1961. They focus on issues that affect the Hungarian American community, providing educational, literary, scientific and motivational lectures, as well as screening films. The congresses recognize and honour, through the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy, those Hungarian Americans who serve the community through outstanding volunteer and professional, literary, artistic or scientific activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mission of the academy is to raise awareness about the Hungarian artists, writers and scientists\u00a0living in the West<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and their works, and thereby to awaken and enhance the Hungarian creative spirit in\u00a0the diaspora<\/a>. Thus, the database of the academy is a tangible testimony to the enormous loss of intellectual value suffered by the Hungarian homeland as a result of losing two world wars and the suppression of the 1956 Revolution and Freedom Fight. However, it also displays the intellectual gains of the host countries of Hungarian immigrants having provided them with the opportunity to live and work in the free world.<\/p>\n

The 62nd Hungarian Congress was hosted by Dr J\u00e1nos N\u00e1das, the President of the Hungarian Association, his wife, Dr Gabriella N\u00e1das, Executive Director, as well as L\u00e9l Somogyi, the Secretary General of the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy on 24\u201325 November in Middleburg Heights, Ohio in the US.<\/p>\n

The most relevant presentation of the Psychology Symposium was given by Be\u00e1ta Krasznai on the issue \u2018how to raise bilingual children who can cope with two cultures?\u2019. Born in Hungary, she has lived in America for more than 20 years. She is a clinical counselling psychologist at Cleveland State University, and holds degrees in school counselling and learning guidance.<\/p>\n

In her presentation, Krasznai explained, based on the levels of Maslow\u2019s pyramid of needs, that language as a social (communication) need appears at level 3 of the pyramid, only after the needs for existence and security have been met. She pointed out that shared language skills in the (grand)parent-child relationship help bridge generational and cultural differences; and play the most important role in conflict management: a parent who knows the language is always at an advantage, but the more the child knows about the parent\u2019s language and culture of origin, the easier it is to manage conflicts within the family. Level 4 of the pyramid of needs relates to self-esteem; at this level, young people start to value bilingualism. As explained, a Hungarian American child with a healthy identity is \u2018100 per cent Hungarian and 100 per cent American\u2019, so the two cultures should not be set against each other; moreover, if skilfully combined, the result can benefit all children (and families).<\/p>\n

To achieve this goal, it is worthwhile to follow a few rules and acknowledge a few facts, such as: children learn their language from adults (the role of the primary caregiver, who is not necessarily the mother, is crucial in this regard), so the sentiment that \u2018the child cannot or does not want to speak Hungarian\u2019 underestimates their intellectual abilities.<\/p>\n

If the parent is unsure or potentially ashamed of their own language skills, their children will switch to another language to avoid the issue; therefore, we should not switch languages even if the environment or circumstances change (i.e. for the sake of others we should not speak to our child in a different language than we used to), and we should take up any resulting conflicts (also with third parties) in a courageous but civilized way. We should accept that there are differences even within families: the first child raised in the diaspora is typically the most proficient in Hungarian compared to younger siblings.<\/p>\n

It is usually around the age of 10 when a child starts to be bothered by poor vocabulary, so it is very important to have them listen to and later read themselves as many Hungarian stories as possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is not a problem if a child speaks English (even within the family); the important thing is that he or she also knows Hungarian. Instead of shaming, we should repeat to him or her in Hungarian what they told us in English during a conversation; and we should use all language learning resources and tools, as there are many opportunities (including communication tools) available to us nowadays. A positive attitude, good examples and playfulness (games, stories, humour) are also very important.<\/p>\n

Level 5 is about self-expression, which is also about helping others. The speaker stressed the role of grandparents of Hungarian origin (as helpers within the family) and Hungarian communities (who are, not instead of parents, but in addition to them, also instruments for the cultivation and transmission of the Hungarian language and culture)\u2014for this, however, the community must be attractive for the children: it must have an atmosphere where it is good to be Hungarian. \u2018I have accepted that my children do not speak Hungarian like their parents, but this is not a surrender, it is a lifelong parental duty\u2019, Krasznai concluded.<\/p>\n

The Psychology Symposium was followed by a photo report about the summer tour of the Reg\u00f6s troop of the Cleveland scouts.<\/p>\n

The young Hungarian American participants were able to discover the beauty of homeland landscapes, watch closely the everyday life of their hosts and get directly acquainted with local Hungarian folk culture: folk songs, folk dance, folk costumes and traditions. By staying with local families, they strengthened their Reg\u00f6s scouts commitment through their personal experience and connections, grew their knowledge base, and, upon their return, enriched the Hungarian community in Cleveland.<\/p>\n

40 people participated, spending a total of 21 days in Pal\u00f3cf\u00f6ld (Kaz\u00e1r, Hungary), Sz\u00e9kelyf\u00f6ld (Seklerland, Transylvania, Romania) and Cs\u00e1ng\u00f3f\u00f6ld (Gyimes and Moldva, Romania). The initiator and organizer of all four tours so far was Eszti Pigniczky, a Cleveland scout leader, also the former leader and current professional staff member of the Reg\u00f6s troup.<\/p>\n

After her explanation of the organizational and financial aspects of the tour, three young Cleveland-born participants (Enese Pigniczky, Ferenc Somogyi, and Kinga Tur\u00f3czki) continued the presentation sharing their own experiences. What they found most exciting in Pal\u00f3cf\u00f6ld were the differences and similarities between the Hungarian customs they preserve in the United States and those learned there. They noted that the Hungarians in Sz\u00e9kelyf\u00f6ld should also pay attention to preserving their traditions; and despite the poverty and forced assimilation in Cs\u00e1ng\u00f3f\u00f6ld, people are characterized by hope, faith, joy, and vitality.<\/p>\n

One of the most memorable presentations on the second day of the conference was delivered by Zs\u00f3fia Dorgay, a native of K\u00e1rp\u00e1talja (Transcarpathia, Ukraine), who currently lives in Budapest.<\/p>\n

\u2018Are You at Home?\u2019 was the title of the presentation, in which she illustrated, with lots of photos, the everyday life of the Hungarians of K\u00e1rp\u00e1talja affected by the Ukrainian-Russian war, and shared short stories and personal comments. Dorgay is currently a reporter-editor at the Religious Editorial Office of Duna TV and a contributor to Bocskai Radio in Cleveland. She continues to keep close contact with Hungarian church and civil organizations in K\u00e1rp\u00e1talja and visits her 85-year-old grandmother in the region (in a village called Sz\u00fcrte) every month, thus staying up to date with the daily life of local Hungarians.<\/p>\n

As she explained, when the war broke out, many people had already been working abroad, so they were no strangers to cross-border family life, especially since the Covid pandemic, and they certainly have not returned home. The atmosphere on the streets is peaceful, but mainly women, the elderly, and small children can be seen, while the Ukrainian National Anthem and posters promoting the draft signify the presence of war. Those left at home, especially the elderly, have serious financial difficulties and women are the backbones of the families, since very few men are exempt from the draft: those having large families, caregivers of the elderly, and public sector workers.<\/p>\n

Schools have been without normal education for almost four years by now; school days begin with a minute\u2019s silence in memory of those who died in the war and in honour of those currently fighting. In the event of air strikes, classes continue in shelters (of schools or homes).<\/p>\n

Churches are trying to support people spiritually and financially: a parish priest from Eger, who has been carrying out a mission there since the beginning of the war, also organized a family reunion camp at Lake Balaton in the summer. Ecumenism is on the rise, family days are organized in several places, and church renovations are being carried out with funding from the Hungarian state. Cultivation and transmission of traditions continue where possible, with choir rehearsals, talent contests, and harvest fairs to maintain the illusion of normality and hope for a viable future.<\/p>\n

Many students go to school in Hungary, but summer holidays are a challenge for them; and those approaching 18 often say: \u2019This is my last summer at home\u2019. Those who have left or leave their homes, often have to make a decision in a very short period of time and are forced to leave everything behind. Many say that they do not feel at home in Budapest and are homesick; others appreciate the ample opportunities, the security and the warm welcome they generally receive in Hungary. Most of them would like to return, but are uncertain. After the presentation, many questions were asked, most of them about help. Zs\u00f3fi Dorgay brings home donations, including those from the St Emeric (Szent Imre) Church\u2019s Laszlo Day-collection to the inhabitants of Sz\u00fcrte, for whom Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3 already organized several similar campaigns in the last two years.<\/p>\n

After lunch, Father Andr\u00e1s Mezei gave a presentation entitled \u2018The Family is God\u2019s Gift\u2019.<\/p>\n

Father Mezey was born and raised in Ditro (Transylvania, Romania); and after serving in Keszthely and Csabrendek, he served as the administrator of the parishes of St Emeric and St Elisabeth in Cleveland for five years, then returned to Keszthely.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that family is \u2018the place of the sanctity of life\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and the priests are often present in the lives of families, preparing them for and serving them with the various sacraments: baptisms, first communions, confirmations, preparation for marriage, weddings, baptisms of children, and funerals. Many people do not take the sacraments of life seriously, because they think that \u2018the paper is not important\u2019. However, \u2018the meeting of two bank accounts will not last for long,\u2019 he warned, and added: if we set conditions for each other, we love ourselves, not each other.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, a family is like a candle, and we need to feed its flame, that is, we need spiritual enrichment in the marriage. Speaking of his years spent in the United States, he recalled how much local Hungarians do for the community and how \u2018shrines\u2019 built from family photos are common in their houses\u2014and reviewing those \u2018equal to a spiritual exercise\u2019. He mentioned that, in three years, he had visited more than a thousand patients at the local university hospital, touching most of them on their foreheads (despite the Covid pandemic), and some perceived it as an encounter with God. He also pointed out that the developments of the last two centuries have not been favourable to families: industrialization, urbanization, women\u2019s entry to the labour market, the two world wars, and the treaty of Trianon, as well as the internet and smartphones have all undermined families.<\/p>\n

Finally, to those who hope for a better future, he said: \u2018Don\u2019t just hope for it, do it\u2019.<\/p>\n

Lunch was followed by the meeting of the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy, during which Dr J\u00e1nos P\u00e1l Gy\u00e9k\u00e9nyesi, this year\u2019s recipient of the academy\u2019s award, gave a lecture entitled \u2018The Role of Space Research and Football in the Life of a Hungarian Refugee\u2019, in which he described two parallel threads of his rich and active life: his 51 years at NASA and several decades of activity in the world of soccer.<\/p>\n

The congress concluded with a documentary made by Toronto-born editor Anna Szak\u00e1ly about the life of Szabolcs Bede-Fazekas, a well-known Hungarian radio station and bookstore owner and programme organizer in Toronto. The gala dinner started with the opening dance of the Reg\u00f6s Group, followed by the introduction of the debutantes, presentation of the new inductee to the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy, Dr J\u00e1nos P\u00e1l Gy\u00e9k\u00e9nyesi, and a \u2018Quadrille Court Dance\u2019 performed by ball attendee couples. The Harmonia band kept the party going until dawn.<\/p>\n

They focus on issues that affect the Hungarian American community, providing educational, literary, scientific and motivational lectures, as well as screening films. The congresses recognize and honour, through the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy, those Hungarian Americans who serve the community through outstanding volunteer and professional, literary, artistic or scientific activities. The mission of the academy is to raise awareness about the Hungarian artists, writers and scientists\u00a0living in the West and their works, and thereby to awaken and enhance the Hungarian creative spirit in\u00a0the diaspora. Thus, the database of the academy is a tangible testimony to the enormous loss of intellectual value suffered by the Hungarian homeland as a result of losing two world wars and the suppression of the 1956 Revolution and Freedom Fight. However, it also displays the intellectual gains of the host countries of Hungarian immigrants having provided them with the opportunity to live and work in the free world. The 62nd Hungarian Congress was hosted by Dr J\u00e1nos N\u00e1das, the President of the Hungarian Association, his wife, Dr Gabriella N\u00e1das, Executive Director, as well as L\u00e9l Somogyi, the Secretary General of the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy on 24\u201325 November in Middleburg Heights, Ohio in the US.

The most relevant presentation of the Psychology Symposium was given by Be\u00e1ta Krasznai on the issue \u2018how to raise bilingual children who can cope with two cultures?\u2019. Born in Hungary, she has lived in America for more than 20 years. She is a clinical counselling psychologist at Cleveland State University, and holds degrees in school counselling and learning guidance. In her presentation, Krasznai explained, based on the levels of Maslow\u2019s pyramid of needs, that language as a social (communication) need appears at level 3 of the pyramid, only after the needs for existence and security have been met. She pointed out that shared language skills in the (grand)parent-child relationship help bridge generational and cultural differences; and play the most important role in conflict management: a parent who knows the language is always at an advantage, but the more the child knows about the parent\u2019s language and culture of origin, the easier it is to manage conflicts within the family. Level 4 of the pyramid of needs relates to self-esteem; at this level, young people start to value bilingualism. As explained, a Hungarian American child with a healthy identity is \u2018100 per cent Hungarian and 100 per cent American\u2019, so the two cultures should not be set against each other; moreover, if skilfully combined, the result can benefit all children (and families). To achieve this goal, it is worthwhile to follow a few rules and acknowledge a few facts, such as: children learn their language from adults (the role of the primary caregiver, who is not necessarily the mother, is crucial in this regard), so the sentiment that \u2018the child cannot or does not want to speak Hungarian\u2019 underestimates their intellectual abilities. If the parent is unsure or potentially ashamed of their own language skills, their children will switch to another language to avoid the issue; therefore, we should not switch languages even if the environment or circumstances change (i.e. for the sake of others we should not speak to our child in a different language than we used to), and we should take up any resulting conflicts (also with third parties) in a courageous but civilized way. We should accept that there are differences even within families: the first child raised in the diaspora is typically the most proficient in Hungarian compared to younger siblings. It is usually around the age of 10 when a child starts to be bothered by poor vocabulary, so it is very important to have them listen to and later read themselves as many Hungarian stories as possible. It is not a problem if a child speaks English (even within the family); the important thing is that he or she also knows Hungarian. Instead of shaming, we should repeat to him or her in Hungarian what they told us in English during a conversation; and we should use all language learning resources and tools, as there are many opportunities (including communication tools) available to us nowadays. A positive attitude, good examples and playfulness (games, stories, humour) are also very important. Level 5 is about self-expression, which is also about helping others. The speaker stressed the role of grandparents of Hungarian origin (as helpers within the family) and Hungarian communities (who are, not instead of parents, but in addition to them, also instruments for the cultivation and transmission of the Hungarian language and culture)\u2014for this, however, the community must be attractive for the children: it must have an atmosphere where it is good to be Hungarian. \u2018I have accepted that my children do not speak Hungarian like their parents, but this is not a surrender, it is a lifelong parental duty\u2019, Krasznai concluded. The Psychology Symposium was followed by a photo report about the summer tour of the Reg\u00f6s troop of the Cleveland scouts. The young Hungarian American participants were able to discover the beauty of homeland landscapes, watch closely the everyday life of their hosts and get directly acquainted with local Hungarian folk culture: folk songs, folk dance, folk costumes and traditions. By staying with local families, they strengthened their Reg\u00f6s scouts commitment through their personal experience and connections, grew their knowledge base, and, upon their return, enriched the Hungarian community in Cleveland. 40 people participated, spending a total of 21 days in Pal\u00f3cf\u00f6ld (Kaz\u00e1r, Hungary), Sz\u00e9kelyf\u00f6ld (Seklerland, Transylvania, Romania) and Cs\u00e1ng\u00f3f\u00f6ld (Gyimes and Moldva, Romania). The initiator and organizer of all four tours so far was Eszti Pigniczky, a Cleveland scout leader, also the former leader and current professional staff member of the Reg\u00f6s troup. After her explanation of the organizational and financial aspects of the tour, three young Cleveland-born participants (Enese Pigniczky, Ferenc Somogyi, and Kinga Tur\u00f3czki) continued the presentation sharing their own experiences. What they found most exciting in Pal\u00f3cf\u00f6ld were the differences and similarities between the Hungarian customs they preserve in the United States and those learned there. They noted that the Hungarians in Sz\u00e9kelyf\u00f6ld should also pay attention to preserving their traditions; and despite the poverty and forced assimilation in Cs\u00e1ng\u00f3f\u00f6ld, people are characterized by hope, faith, joy, and vitality. One of the most memorable presentations on the second day of the conference was delivered by Zs\u00f3fia Dorgay, a native of K\u00e1rp\u00e1talja (Transcarpathia, Ukraine), who currently lives in Budapest. \u2018Are You at Home?\u2019 was the title of the presentation, in which she illustrated, with lots of photos, the everyday life of the Hungarians of K\u00e1rp\u00e1talja affected by the Ukrainian-Russian war, and shared short stories and personal comments. Dorgay is currently a reporter-editor at the Religious Editorial Office of Duna TV and a contributor to Bocskai Radio in Cleveland. She continues to keep close contact with Hungarian church and civil organizations in K\u00e1rp\u00e1talja and visits her 85-year-old grandmother in the region (in a village called Sz\u00fcrte) every month, thus staying up to date with the daily life of local Hungarians. As she explained, when the war broke out, many people had already been working abroad, so they were no strangers to cross-border family life, especially since the Covid pandemic, and they certainly have not returned home. The atmosphere on the streets is peaceful, but mainly women, the elderly, and small children can be seen, while the Ukrainian National Anthem and posters promoting the draft signify the presence of war. Those left at home, especially the elderly, have serious financial difficulties and women are the backbones of the families, since very few men are exempt from the draft: those having large families, caregivers of the elderly, and public sector workers. Schools have been without normal education for almost four years by now; school days begin with a minute\u2019s silence in memory of those who died in the war and in honour of those currently fighting. In the event of air strikes, classes continue in shelters (of schools or homes). Churches are trying to support people spiritually and financially: a parish priest from Eger, who has been carrying out a mission there since the beginning of the war, also organized a family reunion camp at Lake Balaton in the summer. Ecumenism is on the rise, family days are organized in several places, and church renovations are being carried out with funding from the Hungarian state. Cultivation and transmission of traditions continue where possible, with choir rehearsals, talent contests, and harvest fairs to maintain the illusion of normality and hope for a viable future. Many students go to school in Hungary, but summer holidays are a challenge for them; and those approaching 18 often say: \u2019This is my last summer at home\u2019. Those who have left or leave their homes, often have to make a decision in a very short period of time and are forced to leave everything behind. Many say that they do not feel at home in Budapest and are homesick; others appreciate the ample opportunities, the security and the warm welcome they generally receive in Hungary. Most of them would like to return, but are uncertain. After the presentation, many questions were asked, most of them about help. Zs\u00f3fi Dorgay brings home donations, including those from the St Emeric (Szent Imre) Church\u2019s Laszlo Day-collection to the inhabitants of Sz\u00fcrte, for whom Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3 already organized several similar campaigns in the last two years. After lunch, Father Andr\u00e1s Mezei gave a presentation entitled \u2018The Family is God\u2019s Gift\u2019. Father Mezey was born and raised in Ditro (Transylvania, Romania); and after serving in Keszthely and Csabrendek, he served as the administrator of the parishes of St Emeric and St Elisabeth in Cleveland for five years, then returned to Keszthely. He emphasized that family is \u2018the place of the sanctity of life\u2019 and the priests are often present in the lives of families, preparing them for and serving them with the various sacraments: baptisms, first communions, confirmations, preparation for marriage, weddings, baptisms of children, and funerals. Many people do not take the sacraments of life seriously, because they think that \u2018the paper is not important\u2019. However, \u2018the meeting of two bank accounts will not last for long,\u2019 he warned, and added: if we set conditions for each other, we love ourselves, not each other. Furthermore, a family is like a candle, and we need to feed its flame, that is, we need spiritual enrichment in the marriage. Speaking of his years spent in the United States, he recalled how much local Hungarians do for the community and how \u2018shrines\u2019 built from family photos are common in their houses\u2014and reviewing those \u2018equal to a spiritual exercise\u2019. He mentioned that, in three years, he had visited more than a thousand patients at the local university hospital, touching most of them on their foreheads (despite the Covid pandemic), and some perceived it as an encounter with God. He also pointed out that the developments of the last two centuries have not been favourable to families: industrialization, urbanization, women\u2019s entry to the labour market, the two world wars, and the treaty of Trianon, as well as the internet and smartphones have all undermined families. Finally, to those who hope for a better future, he said: \u2018Don\u2019t just hope for it, do it\u2019. Lunch was followed by the meeting of the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy, during which Dr J\u00e1nos P\u00e1l Gy\u00e9k\u00e9nyesi, this year\u2019s recipient of the academy\u2019s award, gave a lecture entitled \u2018The Role of Space Research and Football in the Life of a Hungarian Refugee\u2019, in which he described two parallel threads of his rich and active life: his 51 years at NASA and several decades of activity in the world of soccer.

The congresses recognize and honour, through the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy, those Hungarian Americans who serve the community through outstanding volunteer and professional, literary, artistic or scientific activities. The mission of the academy is to raise awareness about the Hungarian artists, writers and scientists\u00a0living in the West and their works, and thereby to awaken and enhance the Hungarian creative spirit in\u00a0the diaspora. Thus, the database of the academy is a tangible testimony to the enormous loss of intellectual value suffered by the Hungarian homeland as a result of losing two world wars and the suppression of the 1956 Revolution and Freedom Fight. However, it also displays the intellectual gains of the host countries of Hungarian immigrants having provided them with the opportunity to live and work in the free world. The 62nd Hungarian Congress was hosted by Dr J\u00e1nos N\u00e1das, the President of the Hungarian Association, his wife, Dr Gabriella N\u00e1das, Executive Director, as well as L\u00e9l Somogyi, the Secretary General of the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy on 24\u201325 November in Middleburg Heights, Ohio in the US.

The most relevant presentation of the Psychology Symposium was given by Be\u00e1ta Krasznai on the issue \u2018how to raise bilingual children who can cope with two cultures?\u2019. Born in Hungary, she has lived in America for more than 20 years. She is a clinical counselling psychologist at Cleveland State University, and holds degrees in school counselling and learning guidance. In her presentation, Krasznai explained, based on the levels of Maslow\u2019s pyramid of needs, that language as a social (communication) need appears at level 3 of the pyramid, only after the needs for existence and security have been met. She pointed out that shared language skills in the (grand)parent-child relationship help bridge generational and cultural differences; and play the most important role in conflict management: a parent who knows the language is always at an advantage, but the more the child knows about the parent\u2019s language and culture of origin, the easier it is to manage conflicts within the family. Level 4 of the pyramid of needs relates to self-esteem; at this level, young people start to value bilingualism. As explained, a Hungarian American child with a healthy identity is \u2018100 per cent Hungarian and 100 per cent American\u2019, so the two cultures should not be set against each other; moreover, if skilfully combined, the result can benefit all children (and families). To achieve this goal, it is worthwhile to follow a few rules and acknowledge a few facts, such as: children learn their language from adults (the role of the primary caregiver, who is not necessarily the mother, is crucial in this regard), so the sentiment that \u2018the child cannot or does not want to speak Hungarian\u2019 underestimates their intellectual abilities. If the parent is unsure or potentially ashamed of their own language skills, their children will switch to another language to avoid the issue; therefore, we should not switch languages even if the environment or circumstances change (i.e. for the sake of others we should not speak to our child in a different language than we used to), and we should take up any resulting conflicts (also with third parties) in a courageous but civilized way. We should accept that there are differences even within families: the first child raised in the diaspora is typically the most proficient in Hungarian compared to younger siblings. It is usually around the age of 10 when a child starts to be bothered by poor vocabulary, so it is very important to have them listen to and later read themselves as many Hungarian stories as possible. It is not a problem if a child speaks English (even within the family); the important thing is that he or she also knows Hungarian. Instead of shaming, we should repeat to him or her in Hungarian what they told us in English during a conversation; and we should use all language learning resources and tools, as there are many opportunities (including communication tools) available to us nowadays. A positive attitude, good examples and playfulness (games, stories, humour) are also very important. Level 5 is about self-expression, which is also about helping others. The speaker stressed the role of grandparents of Hungarian origin (as helpers within the family) and Hungarian communities (who are, not instead of parents, but in addition to them, also instruments for the cultivation and transmission of the Hungarian language and culture)\u2014for this, however, the community must be attractive for the children: it must have an atmosphere where it is good to be Hungarian. \u2018I have accepted that my children do not speak Hungarian like their parents, but this is not a surrender, it is a lifelong parental duty\u2019, Krasznai concluded. The Psychology Symposium was followed by a photo report about the summer tour of the Reg\u00f6s troop of the Cleveland scouts. The young Hungarian American participants were able to discover the beauty of homeland landscapes, watch closely the everyday life of their hosts and get directly acquainted with local Hungarian folk culture: folk songs, folk dance, folk costumes and traditions. By staying with local families, they strengthened their Reg\u00f6s scouts commitment through their personal experience and connections, grew their knowledge base, and, upon their return, enriched the Hungarian community in Cleveland. 40 people participated, spending a total of 21 days in Pal\u00f3cf\u00f6ld (Kaz\u00e1r, Hungary), Sz\u00e9kelyf\u00f6ld (Seklerland, Transylvania, Romania) and Cs\u00e1ng\u00f3f\u00f6ld (Gyimes and Moldva, Romania). The initiator and organizer of all four tours so far was Eszti Pigniczky, a Cleveland scout leader, also the former leader and current professional staff member of the Reg\u00f6s troup. After her explanation of the organizational and financial aspects of the tour, three young Cleveland-born participants (Enese Pigniczky, Ferenc Somogyi, and Kinga Tur\u00f3czki) continued the presentation sharing their own experiences. What they found most exciting in Pal\u00f3cf\u00f6ld were the differences and similarities between the Hungarian customs they preserve in the United States and those learned there. They noted that the Hungarians in Sz\u00e9kelyf\u00f6ld should also pay attention to preserving their traditions; and despite the poverty and forced assimilation in Cs\u00e1ng\u00f3f\u00f6ld, people are characterized by hope, faith, joy, and vitality. One of the most memorable presentations on the second day of the conference was delivered by Zs\u00f3fia Dorgay, a native of K\u00e1rp\u00e1talja (Transcarpathia, Ukraine), who currently lives in Budapest. \u2018Are You at Home?\u2019 was the title of the presentation, in which she illustrated, with lots of photos, the everyday life of the Hungarians of K\u00e1rp\u00e1talja affected by the Ukrainian-Russian war, and shared short stories and personal comments. Dorgay is currently a reporter-editor at the Religious Editorial Office of Duna TV and a contributor to Bocskai Radio in Cleveland. She continues to keep close contact with Hungarian church and civil organizations in K\u00e1rp\u00e1talja and visits her 85-year-old grandmother in the region (in a village called Sz\u00fcrte) every month, thus staying up to date with the daily life of local Hungarians. As she explained, when the war broke out, many people had already been working abroad, so they were no strangers to cross-border family life, especially since the Covid pandemic, and they certainly have not returned home. The atmosphere on the streets is peaceful, but mainly women, the elderly, and small children can be seen, while the Ukrainian National Anthem and posters promoting the draft signify the presence of war. Those left at home, especially the elderly, have serious financial difficulties and women are the backbones of the families, since very few men are exempt from the draft: those having large families, caregivers of the elderly, and public sector workers. Schools have been without normal education for almost four years by now; school days begin with a minute\u2019s silence in memory of those who died in the war and in honour of those currently fighting. In the event of air strikes, classes continue in shelters (of schools or homes). Churches are trying to support people spiritually and financially: a parish priest from Eger, who has been carrying out a mission there since the beginning of the war, also organized a family reunion camp at Lake Balaton in the summer. Ecumenism is on the rise, family days are organized in several places, and church renovations are being carried out with funding from the Hungarian state. Cultivation and transmission of traditions continue where possible, with choir rehearsals, talent contests, and harvest fairs to maintain the illusion of normality and hope for a viable future. Many students go to school in Hungary, but summer holidays are a challenge for them; and those approaching 18 often say: \u2019This is my last summer at home\u2019. Those who have left or leave their homes, often have to make a decision in a very short period of time and are forced to leave everything behind. Many say that they do not feel at home in Budapest and are homesick; others appreciate the ample opportunities, the security and the warm welcome they generally receive in Hungary. Most of them would like to return, but are uncertain. After the presentation, many questions were asked, most of them about help. Zs\u00f3fi Dorgay brings home donations, including those from the St Emeric (Szent Imre) Church\u2019s Laszlo Day-collection to the inhabitants of Sz\u00fcrte, for whom Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3 already organized several similar campaigns in the last two years. After lunch, Father Andr\u00e1s Mezei gave a presentation entitled \u2018The Family is God\u2019s Gift\u2019. Father Mezey was born and raised in Ditro (Transylvania, Romania); and after serving in Keszthely and Csabrendek, he served as the administrator of the parishes of St Emeric and St Elisabeth in Cleveland for five years, then returned to Keszthely. He emphasized that family is \u2018the place of the sanctity of life\u2019 and the priests are often present in the lives of families, preparing them for and serving them with the various sacraments: baptisms, first communions, confirmations, preparation for marriage, weddings, baptisms of children, and funerals. Many people do not take the sacraments of life seriously, because they think that \u2018the paper is not important\u2019. However, \u2018the meeting of two bank accounts will not last for long,\u2019 he warned, and added: if we set conditions for each other, we love ourselves, not each other. Furthermore, a family is like a candle, and we need to feed its flame, that is, we need spiritual enrichment in the marriage. Speaking of his years spent in the United States, he recalled how much local Hungarians do for the community and how \u2018shrines\u2019 built from family photos are common in their houses\u2014and reviewing those \u2018equal to a spiritual exercise\u2019. He mentioned that, in three years, he had visited more than a thousand patients at the local university hospital, touching most of them on their foreheads (despite the Covid pandemic), and some perceived it as an encounter with God. He also pointed out that the developments of the last two centuries have not been favourable to families: industrialization, urbanization, women\u2019s entry to the labour market, the two world wars, and the treaty of Trianon, as well as the internet and smartphones have all undermined families. Finally, to those who hope for a better future, he said: \u2018Don\u2019t just hope for it, do it\u2019. Lunch was followed by the meeting of the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy, during which Dr J\u00e1nos P\u00e1l Gy\u00e9k\u00e9nyesi, this year\u2019s recipient of the academy\u2019s award, gave a lecture entitled \u2018The Role of Space Research and Football in the Life of a Hungarian Refugee\u2019, in which he described two parallel threads of his rich and active life: his 51 years at NASA and several decades of activity in the world of soccer. The congress concluded with a documentary made by Toronto-born editor Anna Szak\u00e1ly about the life of Szabolcs Bede-Fazekas, a well-known Hungarian radio station and bookstore owner and programme organizer in Toronto. The gala dinner started with the opening dance of the Reg\u00f6s Group, followed by the introduction of the debutantes, presentation of the new inductee to the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Academy, Dr J\u00e1nos P\u00e1l Gy\u00e9k\u00e9nyesi, and a \u2018Quadrille Court Dance\u2019 performed by ball attendee couples. The Harmonia band kept the party going until dawn.
