About LIMMUD FSU INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION

Limmud FSU International Foundation is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 26-1870256) based in New York that serves as the primary legal and financial entity for the global Limmud FSU network. It supports and funds volunteer-led, pluralistic Jewish learning conferences and community programs for Russian-speaking Jews across North America, Europe, Israel, Ukraine, Australia and other regions. The foundation organizes multi-day Limmud FSU conferences, volunteer training and the Limmud FSU Labs initiative (a partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs) to create ongoing educational "laboratories" that strengthen Jewish identity and develop local leadership. Programming emphasizes volunteerism, pluralism and cross-generational learning. In the last two to three years Limmud FSU has remained active internationally — staging events in countries including Ukraine, Israel, Canada, Azerbaijan and Georgia and adapting programming during crises to sustain community connection and learning. The organization publishes annual reports and files Form 990s that reflect continued fundraising and global program support.
