For over 25 years, and especially during the last 10 years, the Jewish community has been piloting, developing, and fine-tuning a wide array of engagement programs for Russian-speaking Jews. The COJECO RSJ Symposium brings together the invaluable experience and knowledge found among Jewish professionals from different metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada who have been working first hand with the Russian-speaking Jewish community toward the goals of Jewish identity development and community building.
