Jewish Community of Ulyanovsk

5,000 Jews live in Ulyanovsk, Russia. It is a very poor city, and the Jews are struggling to make ends meet/ For nearly 100 years this city did not have a rabbi, and the Jewish community was on the brink of losing its identity. They are in desperate need both materially and spiritually.

Rabbi Yossi Marozov was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. He received his degree in Talmudic theology from Yeshivas Oholei Torah. He received his rabbinical degree – Semicha - in Melbourne Australia under the auspices of Rabbi Shrage Feitel Levin.

Throughout his years in Yeshiva, he was actively involved in outreach work. This included running numerous camps and seminars, throughout his summer vacation months, in Russia.

He also got much rabbinical and public speaking practice, as he gave the official sermon for many years in the Synagogue located in the Kingsbrook Jewish Hospital.
