One of the most impactful aspects of our collective strength is our capacity to respond to major crises. When Russia invaded Ukraine six months ago, Federations sprang into action. Not since the efforts to save Soviet Jewry have Jewish institutions around the world been called upon to save so many lives, aid so many refugees, and enable so many to make Aliyah.

How the Soviet Jew Was Made
MONDAY, OCTOBER 3RD AT 4:30 PM
ZOOM
In his new book, Sasha Senderovich offers a close reading of post-revolutionary Russian and Yiddish literature and film that recast the Soviet Jew as a novel cultural figure. Senderovich urges us to see the Soviet Jew anew, as not only a minority but also a particular kind of liminal being. Registration is required. This event is free and open to the public.
Co-hosted by the University of Delaware Jewish Studies Program and Russian Studies Program. For more information, contact Katie Capallo, ktw@udel.edu.
