History of the
fund “YESOD”

YESOD is based on the model of similar centers in other countries. They are called JCC (Jewish Community Centre), their mission is to promote Jewish culture and heritage through festive events, Jewish programs and informal education. They are open for every interested visitor.

There are many such centres around the world, ranging from high-rise big buildings to very small ones in smaller towns. They began to appear in the early 20th century - Jews felt the need for some «third place», besides home and work, where they could feel comfortable and safe among their like-minded.

The concept of such center is that every Jew can come and give something to this place and get. The important part is that you can not only receive, but also give, share something and be useful.

Our JCC is a place where any Jewish family, regardless of their status, condition, age can find something interesting and useful for themselves: help (for low-income families and the elderly), education - formal and informal (school, kindergartens, camps, youth programs), student society; cultural, concert and lecture events.
