Michael Cherney Foundation Sponsors Publication - The Gold of Exile

 

Jerusalem ---- April 6..... The Michael Cherney (Mikhail Chernoy) Foundation has sponsored the publication of The Gold of Exile: Spiritual and Cultural Integration of Russian Jews in Israel, a collection of articles distributed by Gesharim Publishers in Jerusalem, Israel.

The articles in the book describe various aspects of acculturation of Russia speaking immigrants in Israel. So far, it is essentially the one and only book that considers the most important problems of spiritual and cultural integration of the Russian Jewry in Israel.

The authors of over 20 articles are well-known scientists, public figures, and writers, who describe and analyze the process of integration, or the melting of the “Gold of Exile” – the spiritual and cultural baggage of former Soviet citizens.

The chief conclusion of the book is that in the twenty years that have passed since the onset of mass Russian Jewish immigration, the Russian-speaking Olim have become a decisive factor of transformation and modernization of Israel society. They changed its national self-awareness and identity, as well as its attitudes towards ideology, politics, education, culture, religion, and tradition.

The collection was put together and edited by Moshe Kenigshtein.

Michael Cherney (Mikhail Chernoy) Foundation views its main overall objective as helping democratic nations in their war on terrorism as well as realization of the intellectual potential of the post-Soviet immigration to Israel and their integration into the Israel society.

The Fund's contribution in conveying the truth about the war of terror against the Jewish people has met with high appreciation from the media, public organizations, and the Israeli government.

The Cherney (Chernoy) Fund also actively participates in various children and youth-oriented programs, in human rights, counter-anti-Semitism projects, and in various athletic programs.
