RAJMN is the only Jewish-Russian program for young families in Minnesota, connecting them to the larger Jewish community in the Twin Cities and providing a deeper understanding of Judaism and Russian-Jewish roots and culture since 2003. We also serve as a bridge to other Jewish organizations, connecting Russian-American Jews to synagogues, Jewish schools, programs in Israel, Jewish summer camps, and other programs as needed.
