Council of Jewish Emigre Community Organizations (COJECO) is a central coordinating body in the Russian Jewish community of NY that was formed in 2001 to facilitate the successful integration process of Russian-speaking Jews into the mainstream Jewish community and the greater American society. Today COJECO not only continues to support its 33 member organizations, but also strives to represent and advocate for the community’s needs.

COJECO serves as a bridge between the Russian Jewish community and the American Jewish community by providing: – Informal Jewish education – Leadership training – Assistance to American Jewish organizations in developing culturally sensitive and appropriate programs for Russian-speaking Jews. – Assistance to its member organizations with program development, technical assistance, and help in preparing grant proposals.

We are young. We are old. We are workers. We are students. We are families. We are survivors. We are your neighbors. We are the Russian-speaking Jewish community. We want our voices to be heard and respected by all.
