Jewish Community of Ulyanovsk

Jewish Community Center

Jewish Community Center in Ulyanovsk, , led by Rabbi Binyamin Kalman Markovitz.

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.

He received his Semicha ordination from the late Rabbi Chaim Gutnick OBM (former head of the Victoria Rabbinical Alliance), Rabbi Elye Fischer (Rosh Yeshiva Chasidei Gur, New York), and 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.
