Some Highlights from "Consensus"
Rabbi Ed Romm, director of education and campus programs

Our Russian language program, Consensus, a division of Project Oded Continuing Education, is fulfiling its mission of reaching out to "olim", from the Former Soviet Union and connecting them with Conservative Judaism and the United Synagogue Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center.

Yosef Begun, a well known refusnick, who arrived in Israel in 1985, after spending 9½ years in a Soviet prison, coordinates this vital program. Yosef Begun's reputation attracts Russian-speaking Jews wanting to learn about Jewish tradition in a non-coercive environment.

Consensus meets on Wednesday evenings for lectures, cultural programs and get-togethers. In addition, our Russian olim have a special flare for holiday celebrations and intense discussions on issues of the day.


An intense discussion.


The Russian immigrants are a very precious and productive component in Israeli society. We wish to thank the Southeast Region of USCJ for its support of Consensus and sharing this "mitzvah" with us.
