Not Your Babushka's Russian Speaking Jew

At a time of uncertainty, why is now the right time to find community? And how is the way we show up as Russian Speaking Jews different from how our parents do? Host Margarita Korol speaks with fellow Russian Speaking Jewish young professionals on their efforts to build community and promote the value of global Jewish responsibility.

This project has been made possible with the generous support of Genesis Philanthropy Group
