The Zhukovka Jewish Community Center in Moscow recently hosted the annual gathering of 25 devoted coordinators from across Russia active in the FJC’s life-saving humanitarian program “For Life,” dedicated to the welfare of Jewish families and children throughout the vast land. The annual three-day meeting serves as a professional and uplifting platform for professional development, the exchange of valuable experience, and the renewal of spiritual and motivational strength—fostering unity and inspiration across the network’s leading activists.

The strengthening event brought together prominent figures and lecturers from the Jewish community, who enriched and inspired the participants with knowledge, working techniques, deep motivation, and Jewish insights and values.

The prominent lecturers included Mrs. Miriam Barinbaum, Director and Chief Physician of the Rambam Medical Center; Rabbi Moshe Elkin, representing the Chief Rabbi of Russia; Rabbi Ruvens Kolin of the “Among Yours” community; Rabbi Moshe Baruch Beinish; and leading educator Mrs. Aidy Kuravsky.

The conference was further enriched by the participation of distinguished guests such as Rabbi Dovid Mondshine, CEO of the Federation of Jewish Communities (FJC); Rabbi Mendel Mondshine; Rabbi Shlomo Neeman, Head of the FJC Educational Department; Rabbi Alexander Boroda, President of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia; Mrs. Mrs. Chaya Tamar Davydov, owner of the Jewish children’s publishing house “EI” and , leader of the “770 Charitable Foundation.”

The gathering concluded with a festive Oscar-style awards ceremony, during which each coordinator received a certificate of appreciation along with a commemorative gift, recognizing her dedication and meaningful contribution to the program’s vital work.
