Welcome to the homepage of the Jewish Research and Tourist Center Zekher Avoteinu based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The name of our center in Hebrew means "memory of our forefathers." We invite you to make acquaintance with our common past, for ancestors of most Ashkenazi Jews came from the Russian Empire. Our Center carries out Jewish and general tourism in Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, other republics of the former Soviet Union, and Scandinavia.
