THE VAAD IN AZERBAIJAN 25 YEARS OF ACTIVITY
In 1991, The Vaad became involved in Baku through a great act of Hashgocho Protis. While, Rabbi Mordechai Neustadt Zt”l and Ariel Levine were passing through Baku in route to Kuba. They were approached by a few old men who were concerned that after they die their children wouldn’t know how to say Kadish for them. Although there were many Jews in Baku, nobody knew anything about being a Jew. They wanted the Vaad to send them a teacher to learn with them.
Today, in unique multicultural Azerbaijan the Vaad boasts a boys and girl’s full day “day school”, a Bais Yaakov girl’s program. A mikvah built by the Vaad has just been rebuilt and refurbished. The community men and women also participate in learning groups. Rabbi Zamir Isayev directs the Vaad’s activities in Baku. Being native of Azerbaijan makes him uniquely qualified for this position. He is bringing renewed energy and even higher standards of learning to the Yeshiva.
