Dear Russian Jewish Community,

I’m honored to have been elected President of the Russian Jewish Community Foundation.  I’d like to take an opportunity to thank Alex Koifman for his time and dedication to the RJCF cause.

It is during times like these that I am proud to be a part of the Russian Jewish Community Foundation, helping to advance our mission aimed to preserve and enhance the Jewish identity among Russian speaking Jews via education and community events across Massachusetts, as well as to support Israel.

Today we’re facing more challenges than when the RJCF was born almost 20 years ago. Following the vicious attack on the people of Israel on October 7th, we, at the RJCF firmly stand by our beliefs now more than ever, striving for Israel’s peace and prosperity. Since the attack, we have supported with humanitarian help multiple IDF units and families displaced from Sderot, amassed funds for two more Magen David Adom ambulances, sponsored project that provides clothing for wounded soldiers and civilians, and brought in 20 teens to a summer camp in New Hampshire.

I thank you for being a part of our vision and for your continued support, enabling us to embark
on future endeavors bringing solutions to our causes in Massachusetts and in Israel.

Together with our Board of thirteen dedicated members, I plan to continue conquering the challenges that the RJCF is facing with dedication, compassion, and utmost integrity.

Sincerely,

Lina Klebaner
President
