Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia

The Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia (FJCR; Russian: Федерация Еврейских Общин России, ФЕОР) is a Russian religious organization that unifies communities of Orthodox Judaism, mostly of Chabad Hassidic movement. It was registered by the Russian Ministry of Justice in 1999. The Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center is under the federation's jurisdiction.

One of the two largest Jewish religious organizations in Russia (alongside the Congress of the Jewish Religious Organizations and Associations in Russia), the FJCR is the most influential Jewish organization in the country.

The FJCR is both a highly structured and very flexible organization. Local communities are directly incorporated into its structure. To facilitate cooperation between local communities and the creation of joint charitable, cultural, and educational projects, regional rabbinical councils with advisory functions operate.

The stated goal of the association is "to create conditions for a full-fledged religious and national-cultural life for citizens of Russia who practice Judaism and identify with the Jewish people. The primary means to achieve this goal is the comprehensive development of Jewish religious communities with the necessary infrastructure (synagogues, schools with a Jewish ethno-cultural component, yeshivas and other higher educational institutions, community centers, etc.) across the territory of the Russian Federation".

Although the FJCR is headed by a representative of Lubavitch Hasidism (Chabad), Berel Lazar, and Lubavitch Hasidic communities are primarily part of the FJCR, this association represents the interests of all streams of Orthodox Judaism in Russia. Some communities within the FJCR are merely led by Hasidim, while the congregants belong to traditional Judaism. The Federation includes both Bukharian and Litvak communities.
