JUDAISM

Judaism: translation

The Jewish faith has a long history in Russia, dating back to at least the 4th century. Casimir the Great’s invitation to AshkenaziJewsto settle in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth made the religion an important minority faith across medieval Eastern Europe. While Jews were generally free to practice their faith under theRomanovs, they faced institutionalized discrimination and the almost constant threat of violence from the SlavicOrthodox Christianpopulation.
During the Soviet period, vigorous antireligion campaigns duringJosephStalin’s reign resulted in the shuttering of most of the country’s synagogues (as well as churches and mosques).The Holocaust further weakened the status of Judaism in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Underglasnost, a revival movement among Russian Jews began to grow, though many believers sought to immigrate toIsraelor theUnited Statesrather than rebuild Judaic traditions in Russia. Cultural organizations established in the late 1980s such as Va’ad (Confederation of Jewish Communities and Organizations) attempted to reintroduce the celebration of Jewishholidays, offered instruction in Hebrew, and established contacts with Jewish religious organizations abroad.
In the post-Soviet period, rediscovery of Jewish identity has become common, and many young Russian Jews are embracing the faith of their ancestors. New synagogues have been built and old ones reopened, often with the financial support of Jewisholigarchs. Today, yeshivas for religious instruction operate inSt.PetersburgandMoscow, and Jewish summer camps have become popular in recent years. Judaism is protected by theConstitution of the Russian Federationas a native or local religion, alongside Orthodoxy,Islam, andBuddhism. However, in 2009, two Hassidic rabbis from North America were deported for visa violations in a move that worried Jewish communities bereft of religious leaders after decades of state-sponsoredatheism. Major Jewish groups in the Russian Federation include the Congress of Jewish Religious Communities and Organizations underAdolf Shayevich, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia, and the Russian Jewish Congress.
