Narod,
I would like to invite you to participate in a discussion group on the following topic: Do younger Russian Jewish immigrants – educated professionals like ourselves - think it is possible/desirable to get in any way involved in the American Jewish life (Jewish religious life is NOT the topic of discussion here)?
A bit of context: Some American Jews realize that there are a lot of Russian Jews in the U.S. with great education, great professions, great potential, etc. However, there is virtually no cross-pollination between American Jews and Russian Jews. Why? The discussion groups I am inviting you to are an attempt to explore the "Why". The goal is simply to get our perspectives on the issue without trying to convert anyone to anything.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU:
If you participate in a 1 1/2 to 2 hour group conversation you'll get a nice free dinner plus a $25 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble.
PARTICIPATION CRITERIA (IMPORTANT):
We are inviting anyone who is Russian-Jewish, age 25-45, speaks BOTH English and Russian, has at least a Bachelors degree (very similar to the group I surveyed last year, remember? – see http://www.elinagorelik.net/emigrantsurvey/ for reference)
Also, we expect that potential participants are NOT ALREADY ACTIVELY INVOLVED in American Jewish life. And finally, you have to live/work in the Tri-state area because the conversations will be happening in NYC (unless you'll be around in NYC at the time.)
The goal is to reach about 100-120 of our people. The conversations will take place in the evenings during the week in Manhattan. I will be facilitating these discussions.
These conversations are being sponsored by UJA-Federation (United Jewish Appeal Federation) of New York, because the folks at UJA would really like to hear the opinion from "the other side of the fence".
To sign up for a discussion group, please refer to the schedule below, pick the time/place that works best for you, and contact Natalya Skuratova at
