2006 National Conference of Russian-American Jewish Lay Leadership After returning from a weekend charged with ideas, opinions, and enthusiasm, we would like to thank all of our participants for making the First National Conference of Russian Lay Leadership, "From Immigration and Resettlement to Integration and Engagement" a huge success.
