A new Jewish educational center opened in Russia's second-largest city.
The Maor center in St. Petersburg opened this week.
It includes a Jewish day school and kindergarten, and will host communal programs for various age groups.
The center, which contains a prayer hall and kosher kitchen, opened in a municipal building that had been vacant for several years after it was damaged in a fire.
The Chabad-led Federation of Jewish Communities arranged a long-term lease of the building and renovated it with multimillion-dollar grants from the Edmond Safra Foundation and the Ohr Avner Foundation headed by the FJC president, Lev Leviev.
