Bar and Bat Mitzvahs in Siberia

IN 2005, WHILE on a trip to Siberia with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Young Jews in Siberia take part in a Bar Mitzvah ceremony.
Committee (JDC), board member Elaine Berke asked a roomful of Jewish stu-
dents whether they’d had a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. strengthens Jewish life all over the world. To donate, visit jewishphilly.org/

60. Thus began Berke’s inspired campaign to bring Bar and Bat Mitzvahs to the
isolated Jews of Siberia.
JDC, with the support of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, works in
nearly 70 countries to alleviate hunger, rescue Jews from danger and create lasting
connections to Jewish life.
When JDC members re-entered the vast region of Siberia in 1988, they
found that Jewish life had been all but stamped out under communist rule,
leaving the remaining 1.3 million Jews lacking in even the most basic knowl-
edge of Jewish culture, religion, history or community life. JDC’s efforts
toward Jewish renewal have included education and community-building
programs across the former Soviet Union — including Berke’s Bar and Bat
Mitzvah program.
Each year for more than a decade, about 50 kids and their families travel from across
Siberia — distant Jewish enclaves like Krasnoyarsk, Kansk, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk,
Ulan-Ude and Barnaul — to gather for a weeklong retreat, learning Jewish traditions
anew. The week culminates in a massive Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebration.
“It was amazing how we became a real community during a week in retreat,”
said past participant Dasha Mazanik, a member of the B’nai Mitzvah class of 2007.
Participants return home with a new Jewish connection and pride that they share
with others and, in that way, begin knitting a Jewish community back together.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia supports programming that
