We make available Russian/Hebrew prayerbooks, Talesim, mezuzot and
other religious items to people interested in receiving them.
Chevra is a humanitarian organization, not a religious one.
While we help primarily Jewish people, we do not promote religious teaching
as a prerequisite or incentive for people to receive our help. Our policy
is to informally cooperate with other charities seeking to help Jewish
people, but we will help any Jews in need regardless of whether they
wish to receive religious information or not.
Jewish life in the Former Soviet Union disintegrated during the communist
period. People want to know more about their heritage, but most often
it exists as a far off memory of something their grandparents did. We
make available Russian/Hebrew prayerbooks, Talesim, mezuzot and other
religious items to people interested in receiving them.
In addition, we assist all Jewish people seeking to
immigrate to Israel, getting them to the boats or airports, as well
as help them with passports and their paperwork. We established homes
in Israel of elderly holocaust survivors without family, so they too
could immigrate to Israel.
