To expand its New York-focused Project Gesher initiative to Boston. The project brings culturally appropriate, Russian-language Jewish education to pre-schoolers, families, and college students in the Russian-Jewish émigré community.

Launched in 2003, the current initiative’s predecessor Project Gesher allowed COJECO to enter the Russian-speaking Jewish community’s existing structure of daycare centers and through informal Jewish education provide meaningful identity-building experiences to émigré children ages 3-5. The program functions in daycare centers in Brooklyn and Staten Island.

In the beginning of 2011, COJECO Project Gesher was extended to Boston.
