Russia’s first Reform Jewish community center was dedicated this week in Moscow. The center includes a synagogue and Hebrew school as well as special programs for young and elderly people. The center also houses an institute for social workers. On completion of the institute’s two-year program, 21 men and women from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus will work in some of the 62 Reform congregations that have sprung up in recent years across the former Soviet Union.
