The Congress of the Jewish Religious Organizations and Associations in Russia (CJROAR) was established in February 1993.
CJROAR unites 100 Jewish organizations in 68 cities of Russia. This body possesses no administrative powers, but it performs consulting, coordinating and representative functions. Its primary activities are carrying out religious seminars, preparing staff for the work in communities, introducing the Jewish population to national traditions, as well as educational and publishing activity.
The administrative bodies of CJROAR are the Rabbinate and the Public Council.
[edit] Activity
- In beginning of the 2006 school year, CJROAR issued a press-release in which it appealed to Jews of Russia and heads of Jewish communities with a request to inform the Chief Rabbinate of Russia about facts of compulsory attendance of the subject "Basics of the Christian Orthodox culture", assignment of examinations in Shabbat and other problems, dealing with impossibility of adhering to Jewish religious norms.[1]
