Title	A young girl studies Hebrew in St. Petersburg using JDC-distributed cards.
Reference Code	NY_19041
Description	Exactly half a century after its exile, JDC once again set foot on Soviet soil amid the prevailing atmosphere of glasnost. Though a devoted thread had risked everything to sustain a thread of Jewish life, the final collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 revealed a Jewish cultural wasteland imprinted by 70 years of repression. Alphabet cards such as these were used in education programs designed to help revitalize Jewish life and learning for a new generation.
