PROJECT KESHER IN WESTCHESTER,
THE BERKSHIRES, and THE HAMPTONS
Vlada Bystrova, our Director of Next Generation
Programming from Krivoy Rog, Ukraine was in the United States
this summer for special gatherings in Westchester, the Birkshires
and the Hamptons. Vlada is a Project Kesher success story. She
was identified by Project Kesher at age 19 to participate in
our Next Generation Leadership Training Program. Out of this
initial experience grew a commitment to Jewish life and community
activism. Today Vlada, at age 26, oversees all of our programming
in the Commonwealth of Independent States of the former Soviet
Union (CIS) geared towards younger women. Event participants
heard exciting updates from Vlada on Project Kesher's transformative
work and the latest on our Next Generation programs.
