of the Former Soviet Union. Health care is critical. SHAMIR provides

The
Ultimate Kindness
State-sponsored
cremation is the norm for the Jews of Russia, because traditional
Jewish burial can easily cost a year’s salary. SHAMIR is there
to provide dignity and consolation for the Jews of eastern Moscow
in their moment of need.

alleviate alienation and despair, SHAMIR brings people together through
- Community centers
- Holiday celebrations

Children’s
Programs
To
educate a child is to secure a Jewish tomorrow. Reversing assimilation
must start with the youth. SHAMIR provides
