Ezra USA

The stated goal of the Ezra is to introduce Jewish youth to, and unite it around, its cultural heritage.

Ezra also stimulates Jewish young leadership through seminars and shabbatons, both in connection with its trips and in independent programs and events.

As a further means to this end, group leaders ("madrichim") are recruited from former participants of Ezra's programs.

June 6, 2010 Ezra opened a youth center with support from Ukrainian born Jewish-American boxer Dmitry Salita.

Also in attendance were leaders of Israel's political party Yisrael Beiteinu, traditionally representing immigrants from the former Soviet Union, headed by Israeli MP Danny Ayalon.
