On October 11, 2004 Women's eNews reported, "Project Kesher's mandate is to spur Jewish revival in the Former Soviet Union. But the group also reaches out to women of all backgrounds, believing that interfaith connections can ease growing ethnic tensions and curb anti-Semitism... Throughout Ukraine, Russia, Moldova and Belarus, Project Kesher has, for the past 10 years, promoted Jewish renewal in the formerly anti-religious territory of the Former Soviet Union by encouraging Torah study and other Jewish learning among Jewish women. Kesher--based in Evanston, Ill., with an annual budget of $650,000 and a full-time staff of 26 concentrated in the Former Soviet Union--also looks beyond the Jewish world."
