The Tsal Kaplun Foundation (TKF) was established in 2016 and named in honor of Tsal Kaplun, the common ancestor of the three TKF co-founders: Michael Levin, Joseph Menaker, and Leonid Vayn.
Our organization was founded in order to explore, preserve, and educate the world about the cultural heritage of Jewish communities in former Soviet republics.
We seek to celebrate the lives of our ancestors and to commemorate the victims of pogroms, the Holocaust, and other grave historical crimes. Our goal is to report and contextualize the suffering of millions of Jewish families, and to preserve their history for the enlightenment of future generations. |
