Beyond Borscht and Babka: Connecting to your Russian Roots

Thank you to everyone who came out to ‘Beyond Borscht and Babka’. It was a great opportunity to try traditional Russian food, learn about YLC and the JDC (the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee). JFGA has focused its support for the 1 million Jews left in the Former Soviet Union, on our partnership city of Minsk, Belarus This year, Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta (JFGA) allocated over $430,000 through JDC to support programs in Minsk such as food packages for the elderly and Jewish summer camps for youth.
