Programs in the Greater Boston Area

Jewish Community Housing for Elderly - to support its Hearing Enhancement Project, which will provide mobile hearing aid technology for approximately 300 low-income Russian-speaking older adults who have hearing impairments who live in JCHE's affordable housing so that they can fully engage in their community.

RememberUs - their mission is: "To honor and commemorate those who perished in the Shoah and to educate future generations about the devastating and everlasting consequence of genocide".

Arlekin Players - to do a re-run of a very successful play called "Memorial Prayer", based on the classics "Tevye the Milkman" by Sholem Aleichem (also known as "Fiddler on the roof"). The play will be performed in October 2015.

ActingOut Theater - supporting a project that will give an opportunity for local Jewish kids in the Merrimac Valley area to meet each other, learn to act, dance and sing, work as a team and the most important is to learn about Russian Jewish history by living through the famous Shalom Aleichem's story. Through songs and dance, participants will learn about the history of Russian Jews and learn about the immigration from Russia to Israel and America. By educating themselves on the patterns of Jewish history, players will look outward and inward, and will develop their identity.

Aleph Club - library - for series of lectures and seminars on Jewish culture and history
