Creating Meaningful Jewish Experiences

Engaging Russian-Speaking Jews

In partnership with Genesis Philanthropy Group, we provide grants to organizations across North America for programming geared towards engaging Russian-speaking Jews (RSJs) in rich and meaningful Jewish experiences, as well as strengthening RSJ communities.  

This work includes support for a robust RSJ Educators & Engagers Network. The Network strives to empower professionals and lay leaders, Jewish educators and community engagers who are passionate about creating a vibrant programmatic offering for the RSJ community, which makes up 10 to 15% of American Jews.
