Who are the Rohrs?
The Rohrs are major sponsors for vulnerable Jewish communities, including being one of the biggest supporters of Jews in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union.
Sami Rohr (father of George Rohr) was a Columbian real estate developer. As a significant portion of his holdings were in the the Former Soviet Union, he traveled there often and had an opportunity to learn more about the Jewish communities struggling under Soviet rule.
Rohr grasped the opportunity to make a difference. He felt a personal and social responsibility to the Jewish people to help support Soviet Jews and to rebuild their communities. He believed that with his support and the contributions of others like him, he could reestablish Jewish life in the Soviet Union.
Major Contributions
Consider some of the Rohr family’s most recent contributions to Jews in the Former Soviet Union (FSU):
- Restoring synagogues in Ukraine and Moskow
- Constructing 15+ synagogue, community centers, and mikvahs
- Providing for the salaries and living expenses of 200 rabbis and their families serving vulnerable and emerging communities
- Sponsoring a Russian language publishing house to produce the following Hebrew-Russian translations:
- 100,000 siddurs
- 100,000 High Holiday prayer books
- 75,000 Haggadahs
- 25,000 Torahs
- 25,000 psalm books
- Providing for the establishment of the largest Jewish website in the Russian language: http://www.jewish.ru
- Supporting Jewish women’s institutes, children’s homes, orphanages, yeshivas, summer camps, and funding mass holiday campaigns, as well as sending 350 rabbinical students to strengthen emerging Jewish communities during Passover and the High Holidays
Learn more about this admirable family and their work in the FSU. Please note that this is only a portion of the good work the family has undertaken.
Holiday Reminder
A reminder that Chanukkah is celebrated this year from Tuesday, December 4th to Tuesday, December 11th, starting at sundown each day.
Recommended Reading
To learn more about Jews in Russia, I recommend the Federation of Jewish Communities of the Commonwealth of Independent States website for its high quality content and friendly usability. It is also a great way to learn about communities in need and how you can help.
