ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION

GRANT PURPOSE

To support Israeli Weekend's work integrating Russian-speaking Olim into Jewish and Israeli culture. Through Shabbat retreats, holiday celebrations, volunteer initiatives and cultural activities, young Russian-speaking Israelis will build essential Jewish knowledge and community and deepen their new Jewish-Israeli identity.

With tens of thousands of new Russian-speaking immigrants arriving in Israel due to the war in Ukraine, we are deeply grateful for The Foundation’s timely grant towards our work with young Russian-speaking Israelis. The funds will help expand our programs and engage an additional 3,500 immigrants in enriching Jewish communal events while fostering knowledgeable, rooted young leadership for Israel and the Jewish people.
