COJECO (Council of Jewish migr Community Organizations) is the central hub of the Russian-speaking Jewish community in the New York tri-state area. Their mission is to convene and connect the community through collaborative leadership, innovative engagement, Jewish education, capacity building, and preservation of heritage.
They offer unique programs for Russian-speaking Jews to engage with the community on their own terms, encouraging identity exploration, informal Jewish education, leadership training, and volunteering. Some of their programs include the Roots Research Project, which helps families conduct genealogical research and explore their family roots, and the BluePrint Fellowship, which empowers change makers to create their own community-building initiatives. They also have programs for B'nai Mitzvah preparation, virtual Jewish and Israel-related educational sessions, and educational trips to Germany to explore Jewish life in the country.
