Project "JCC Global RaZoom":

The RaZoom project (from rozum, “mind” in both Ukrainian and Polish) bridges educational gaps for children in Dnipro while fostering cross-cultural dialogue. Young adults from Krakow and Brooklyn tutor children in math, English, and Ukrainian through Zoom, helping them recover from years of disrupted schooling caused by COVID-19 and the war.

​

JCC Global Podcast Project (working title):
This project features interviews with Jewish Ukrainian refugees who were forced to flee their homes due to the war. Participants from Brooklyn, Krakow, and Dnipro share their personal stories and experiences. Podcast recordings are scheduled to take place during Winter 2026.

Mentorship:

The CEOs and senior leaders of the three JCCs meet regularly for peer mentoring and consultation. These exchanges provide a trusted forum to share workplace challenges, explore leadership strategies, and exchange organizational insights. This process has not only supported professional growth but also deepened the sense of solidarity across the partnership.

In addition, responding to urgent needs during a third winter of instability, the Bensonhurst partnership mobilized emergency support for children in Dnipro. Within 48 hours, funds were raised to provide 107 children with winter kits, including jackets, hats, gloves, and small toys — delivered ahead of Hanukkah.
