Project Kesher
Invite reviews
As a graphic artist and a Jew living in a free country, I cannot even imagine the lives that some of the women (involved with this organization) have endured prior to being helped by Project Kesher. The stories I hear and read about are truly inspirational. We live in a country where Womens Rights have not come far enough in USA during the past 100 years. The States of the former Soviet Union has a long way to go. This is the only religious and political statements I will make publicly, and endorse.

In 2009 we developed a community health based women's health curriculum that suggestions on how to influence behavioral and policy changes on the local level in order to move health from the individual experience to a community-wide action. This health curriculum was paired with a Jewish text study module and integrated into our successful Beit Binah Torah study group lead by lay women leadership. Launched 4 months ago we are already hearing stories of empowerment and actions in our groups throughout the regions.

In 1994 Project Kesher brought together Jewish women from the former Soviet Union with Jewish women from around the world. The first agenda was to help these women strengthen their Jewish identity. Since then Jewish women in Ukraine, Russia, Moldova and Belarus have gone on to be leaders in doing community change work in their villages and cities. They work with other minorities to be strong advocates for women and have become one of the primary voices addressing domestic violence, economic justice as well as Jewish spirituality.

I visited some of the cities in Russia to see the results of our work and find that the women have begun to transform the societies in which they live. By cooperating with other communities they are helping to defuse anti-semitism.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Working and getting to know women who are dedicated to making a difference in their world, and seeing them successfully creating a difference in their communities.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Dedicated and efficient. When we started they were totally naive, and now they are so skilled that other organizations are turning to them to train and work with their staff and volunteers.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Change the world, not only in the former Soviet Union but in Israel as well.
