From life cycle events, spiritual guidance, programs for all ages, holiday celebrations, leadership initiatives, social services and so much more, the organization focuses on maintaining the unique culture of Gorsky Kavkazi Jews through these various programs and services, while propelling the community forward as part of the larger Jewish-American community.
