our mission

Shuvu was established in 1990 following a call to action by the leading rabbinic figures of our time in the USA and in Israel

Shuvu is raising Jewish identity by providing a superior education – both general and Jewish to over 15,000 Russian, Israeli and newly arrived French immigrant children and family members in 77 schools and Kiruv programs all across Eretz Yisroel. Most can't afford to pay any tuition. Help Shuvu in its historic mission to ensure that every Jewish child in Eretz Yisroel who wants one, receives a Jewish education.

" Shuvu saw the potential in me. My principals and teachers believed in me. This gave me the encouragement to win the Intel Science competition which has opened up many doors for me. The staff at Shuvu believed in my abilities - they encouraged me to succeed. Winning the Intel Science competition allowed me to contribute adequately during my IDF army service and paved the way for me to have a successful career in the high-tech industry. "

David Kovalev

" Shuvu-Return gives them the basics of life and creates a positive, enjoyable understanding of what it is like to be Jewish. That is the true miracle... "

" It is inspiring to see how you are making a commitment to thousands of children - making them aware of who and what they are. You are making a tremendous contribution to the State of Israel. "

" I was once a prisoner in Russian prison - I was arrested for being a Jew. You have the wonderful opportunity to have all of my dreams come true in Return. "
