Annual Benefit Dinner

Transcription

L’Dor Vador. Values and traditions
passed from parent to child,
generation to generation. For many
years, this was done covertly (or
not at all) in the countries of the
former Soviet Union. Today, that
has changed, and Project Kesher
has been on the forefront of this
transformation.
Michele Cohen was
introduced to Project Kesher
through her daughter Barrie
who, at age 15, suggested they
travel together to Russia on
our 2004 Voyage on the Volga.
Shortly thereafter, Michele
joined the Project Kesher
Board and co-chaired our
Summit on the Black Sea trip.
Michele,
You are a great partner
in a beautiful life…
And we sing your praises…
And you’re an inspiration to us all!
Congratulations Mom!
Your love and compassion are inspiring
and we could not have done it
without you!
I’m so Proud of You!
You are the Best Mom Ever!
We love you!
Michele,
From the Volga River to the shores of the
Black Sea, we have traveled with you to
faraway places and have seen the many
facets of Michele -- the artist, the visionary,
the activist.
Your warmth and the support you have given
to each of us personally, and to Project
Kesher has meant so much.
And Miriam was a weaver of unique
variety the tapestry she wove was
one which sang our history.
With every strand and every thread
she crafted her delight!
- Debbie Friedman
We feel lucky to know you and work with
you. Congratulations to our board member
and friend.
May we go from strength to strength.
Team Kesher!
Karyn, Karen, Shannon and Erica
Greetings from the Region
I feel great joy to come all the way from Krivoy Rog, Ukraine
on April 26th to represent thousands of Project Kesher activists
from my region. I have spent time with you so many times in
New York, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Each time has been
inspiring to me. L’dor Vador is very important to me and my
family as it is to yours.
It means so much to me to celebrate with you a day all of
Project Kesher is honoring you.
--Vlada Bystrova, Krivoy Rog, Ukraine
Project Kesher Programming Director
It is an honor to know you and work with you.
I send greetings from Belarus to you.
--Olga Krasko, Polotsk, Belarus

Good Giving: Project Kesher
Imagine a growing cadre of young Jewish women
and girls openly and actively engaged in Jewish
learning and social activism in the countries of the
former Soviet Union. Support Project Kesher’s
Next Generation Program in Russia, Ukraine,
Belarus, Moldova and Georgia by underwriting
programs including, Mother-Daughter seminars
and teen retreats ensuring the continuity of Jewish
life in the region.
Good Giving: Project Kesher - Israel
Imagine your child is a soldier who cannot be
buried in a Jewish cemetery or, that you need to
leave your country to be married. The Russianspeaking population in Israel is often marginalized
by their lack of understanding of their rights as
citizens and their limited Jewish knowledge. This
project will empower PK-Israel women to engage
more fully in Jewish life by providing Jewish
learning and entry points to multiple
denominations in the Jewish community and
educating them about their right to advocate for
their interests as Israeli citizens.

More than 6,000 women
trained by Project Kesher are
staff or volunteers in Jewish
communal life throughout
Russia, Ukraine, Belarus,
Georgia and Moldova.

On behalf of thousands of women and girls throughout

congratulate you on this honor. We got to know each other
in 2007 when you were the co-chair of the Summit on the
Black Sea trip, and I remember meeting you and Barrie in

the Project Kesher U.S. board because I knew great things
were going to happen…and they did!
--Svetlana Yakimenko, Moscow, Russia

I met you in 2004 on the Voyage on the Volga.

Congregation Emanu-El of the

Michele Cohen
“An accomplished woman
She seeks out wool and linen and her hands work willingly
Her hands she stretches out to the distaff and her palms support the spindle
Strength and majesty are her raiment
Her children arise and praise her
Her husband and he lauds her
Give her but the fruits of her own hands and let her be praised at the gates for her
very own deeds”
Dear Michele,
It has been a joy and a privilege to be on the Project Kesher "journey" with
you. Thank you for all you have done to further the work of this
incredible organization.

safer, and stronger because of your hard work, clear vision and generous spirit,
thank you.
With love and admiration,
