Toldos Yeshurun

Toldos Yeshurun

Toldos Yeshurun is a Non-Profit organization for Jews from the former USSR. It was founded by Rabbi Yitzchok Zilber, leader of the Russian baal teshuvah movement and often called "the father of Russian Jewry", in 2000 with the support of Rabbi Yosef Sholom Eliashiv, Rabbi Aharon Leib Shteinman, and Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky. Since the passing of Rabbi Yitzchak Zilber in 2003, the organization is headed by his son, Rabbi Ben Tzion Zilber.

The organization's goal is to provide secular Russian Jews with a Jewish education and bring them to Jewish observance.

The organization's activities take place mainly in Israel. Toldos Yeshurun also sends lecturers and printed materials to the countries of the former Soviet Union, the USA and Europe.
