RJKrug

What is RJKrug?
RJKrug is a Russian-Jewish Heritage Program for families with school-age children.

How Does it Work?
Family circles (up to 8 families) will meet for 8 educational events, September-June. The program includes interactive learning sessions at host families’ homes and extracurricular activities such as thematic city and museum tours and family Jewish holiday programs.

The same topics are explored separately and simultaneously by kids and their parents and facilitated by specially trained Jewish educators.

Program Schedule and Topics:
– Each family circle defines their schedule, by choosing the date and time for the sessions.
– Circle can choose the language of the sessions and a set of themes that matches the interests of parents and children from the following list:
