In the late 1980s, the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) resumed its operations in the Soviet Union, and it has since continued to function across the post-Soviet states. Today, the JDC's primary objectives are to revitalize Jewish life by developing community infrastructure, to foster closer ties between the Jewish population of the former USSR and global Jewish culture, and to provide essential aid to elderly and impoverished individuals. These initiatives are implemented primarily through community organizations, Chesed centers, and community hubs established throughout the region, where volunteers play a crucial role.
