Absence of support for the ''Matzot for Jews of Eurasia'' program could lead to Jews not being able to fulfill Pesach obligations, EAJC Kyiv Office Executive Director says.
The Moscow office of the EAJC have to inform you that we are leaving our premises at the Frunzenskaya embankment that we all loved so much. It is distressing to realize that we are being forced out not by some evil forces but by the Executive Administration of the Congress. Quite recently, six months earlier we were quite hopeful that there will be positive changes and the revival of the activities of the Congress.
The EAJC Program Commission was created according to the decision of the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress, and over the second half of 2017, it has reviewed a number of projects submitted on behalf of EAJC member organizations. The Program Commission approved a number of projects to finance in 2018, and they were forwarded to the Directorate General in Israel in a timely manner. Unfortunately, none of the project applications have received an official answer, neither from the Directorate nor from the Congress President. Unofficially, Acting EAJC Director General Haim ben Yaakov has said that the Congress President has decided not to finance any of the projects. Thus, many projects that had been traditionally supported by the EAJC are now on the brink of dissolution.
