On the 9th of November, 2010, the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC) and the Moscow Jewish Religious Community (MJRC) are holding a joint Chanukah reception in one of Moscow's highest-rated halls – the Saphis House of Celebrations. It is traditional for both organizations that the annual reception is not only a celebration, but also a certain way to report on work throughout the previous calendar year.

The largest continental Jewish structure (the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress united communities from 25 countries of two continents) and the oldest Jewish community of Russia (the Moscow Jewish Religious Community is over a hundred years old) have a wide range of programs and projects, contributing to the unity and spiritual rebirth of the Jewish people. A number of programs is a result of cooperation between the two organizations, such as the "Gift of Torah" program, in which Torah scrolls are given to synagogues. The spiritual leaders of the MJRC – Head Rabbi of Russia Adolph Shaevich and the Head Rabbi of Moscow Pinchas Goldshmidt are part of the EAJC Rabbi Council.

Tribute to those who have perished as a result of the fire in the north of Israel will be given in the beginning of the evening. The celebration program includes a symbolic lighting of Chanukah candles, an awarding ceremony for leading patrons and active public figured of EAJC and MJRC, and a rich entertainment program including the legendary singer Vadim Mulerman, who was the first to sing Jewish songs on a Soviet stage, the "Datish" Ensemble of the People's and Distinguished Artistes "Gene Fund," led by Boris Lvovich, cantors of the Men's Choir of the Moscow Choral Synagogue, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and the new Young Women's Ensemble "Meideleh." The Keren Hayesod Fund is taking part in preparing the evening's entertainment program.

The celebration will be attended by leading Russian politicians, community activists, important figures in culture and science, business leaders, representatives of the diplomatic corps, and leaders of Jewish organizations.
