The Genesis Philanthropy Group, which was started by four Jewish Russian billionaires, has given yet another big grant to help the Russian speaking North American community.

The group has given $2.7 million to the Wexner Foundation to create two Wexner Heritage classes with the UJA Federation of New York that would be comprised of Russian speaking Jews in New York and to create two fellowships through Wexner's existing fellowship program that would pay for graduate school for two Russian speaking Jews who were committed to becoming Jewish communal professionals."
