Dozens of carefully selected Jewish students from across Russia gathered recently in Moscow for a five-day seminar in preparation for EuroStars’ annual trip to Europe. This year, 600 students are expected to participate in the trip which will include visits to tourist attractions in Spain and holocaust and Jewish history sites in Poland.

During the seminar, the students strengthened their knowledge of Hebrew, Jewish history and heritage, gained new professional tools for working with youngsters and planning activities, and had an exciting opportunity to become acquainted with peers from other Jewish communities in Russia.
