F.R.E.E. Brit Milah (Circumcision) Center

מרכז ליהדות רוסיה

Judaism is a religion of action. Under the best circumstances, the mitzvah of Bris Milah is the first action parents take to affirm their commitment to

Friends of Refugees of Eastern Europe (FREE) was founded in 1969 by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. It was led by a group of young ex-Soviet “partisans” to cater to the broad range of needs of Jewish refugees from the Former Soviet Union. FREE has helped tens of thousands of these Jews, who often arrived in the U.S. with nothing but the clothes on their back, and precious little else.

FREE has continued to reach out to these Jews, feeding their bodies and nourishing their souls through housing, rent, medical and employment assistance, and education in Torah and Mitzvot. Serving as the first such Organization in the United States, FREE has become America’s largest Jewish organization serving Russian immigrants with their spiritual and material needs

Governments fall, the map is rearranged, but Friends of Refugees of Eastern Europe never stops responding to the call of the Jewish soul. Indeed, Jewish continuity is not an item on our agenda. It is our agenda.

Cong. Friends of Refugees of Eastern Europe is an international non-profit organization founded in 1969 by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson. F.R.E.E.’s mandate is to restore the Jewish identity and education diminished through over seventy years of communist oppression, by assisting Jews from the former Soviet Union in all moral, spiritual, religious, educational and financial / material areas of their new lives in the FREE world.
