- History / Biographical
- One of the Vaad's vital projects was to preserve the religious faith and culture of the Jewish community in the former Soviet Union. The Vaad Ha'ir was the first Jewish religious body to receive permission from the Soviet government to establish and maintain close contact with the Jewish communities in the former Soviet Union. It provided tangible assistance, such as religious articles, sacred books, parcels of new clothing and kosher food. The Vaad Ha'ir's income is derived from fees for ritual slaughtering of animals as well as fees for kashruth supervision in the Montreal region
