Starting our Adventure

After months of consideration, Alyson and I have decided to do something crazy! We are going overseas to work with the Jewish community of St. Petersburg, Russia. This is a fascinating city--once called "The Venice of the North," it is the most-northern city in the world with more than one million residents. We couldn't be more excited for this adventure!

Last night, we got to know several Jewish professionals from Moscow. We were both impressed by their commitment, dedication, and competence. We even started discussing doing a joint program between the two cities!



This statue of Czar Nicholas I is one of the major icons of St. Petersburg. There are numerous books where the horse comes to life and gallops through the streets of SPG!



We can only hope that the Metro in SPG will be as clean, safe, and reliable as the Metro in DC!
