S. Kuzma created the sculptural composition “Laza-rus, get up” in 1989, however it was implemented by his son, also a sculptor, Algirdas Kuzma after his death. Algirdas always assisted his father in the im-plementation of his creative ideas. A. Kuzma used the drawings and layout of this sculpture left by his father S. Kuzma.

Thanks to the artist, the composition “Lazarus, get up” was built in the courtyard of Vilnius University hospital Santaros Klinikos last year, expressing the spirit of hope of the diseased, their loved ones and resurrection. It is the symbol of a battle for life and vocation of doctors. The sculpture was built in the summer of 2016 from public funds.

The royal stag is a beautiful, harmonious, and sturdy animal. The beginning of the reacclima-tisation of royal stags in Lithuania is associated with Žagarė forests. The deer immigrated to the southern Lithuanian forests from Poland and Ka-liningrad Oblast. These animals prefer broadleaf forests and mixed coniferous forests growing in rich soils.

The European hare resembles a domesticated rabbit in appearance. From the 15th to the 18th century, the European hare was rarer in Lithua-nia than the mountain hare. Due to intensive hu-man activities, hares most often inhabit forests and areas of uncultivated land. In a day, a hare moves within an area of 65 ha on average, but most activities take place in an area of approxi-mately 20 ha, and in the presence of danger the hare moves in an area of 1 km in radius.

The badger is the largest animal of the family Mustelidae. Although badgers are widespread in all parts of the country, their numbers have diminished recently. They live in forests, some-times in bushes, pastures or even meadows that are close to a forest. Badgers live in burrows and use moss, dry grass and leaves to line their lairs. when the weather gets colder, at the end of November or at the beginning of December badgers fall asleep and hibernate until March. On clear and warmer days badgers leave their burrows for a short time.

During almost 700 years of life in Lithuania, Jews have created a rich, diverse culture. Jews quickly became involved in the political, economic, cultural and social life of the state.

Many famous Judaism scholars and rabbis lived and created in the country. There were world-class spiritual academies - Jeshivas, where young people from many countries of the world came to study there. Jewish schools, societies, shops and cafes function in cities and large cities. There were over 250 synagogues in Vilnius at different times. Activities of the Jewish community enriched and enlivened the life of Lithuanian cities and towns.

The contribution of Lithuanian Jews, often called Litvaks, is extremely important to the history and development of Judaism. Vilnius, after the name of North Jerusalem, was known until the Second world war as one of the most important centers of yiddish culture in Europe.
