Bolstering entrepreneurialism amongst Russian Jewish women: Some 100 Jewish businesswomen from Israel and the former Soviet Union met in Moscow last month to form a social and professional network. The meeting, organized by the Jewish Agency for Israel, was part of a larger initiative designed to establish exchanges between Russian Jewish and Israeli businesswomen — and create avenues for business partnerships among women entrepreneurs from both regions.

Russian society has traditionally been abusive and dismissive of women - turning this tradition around will take more than a little time.
