September 21 - Birobidzhan

Over the course of working on this story, we spoke to many people who have helped us better understand the historical and present-day conditions for Jews living Russia.

Alexander, a lawyer who emigrated and later returned to Russia; Yakov, a regional trade union chairman; Maria(R), who teaches Yiddish at School#2; and Ira, a student at that same school, are just a few who told us what being Jewish in Russia means to them.
