Jewish Belarus

Which Belarusian Jews impacted the modern world? What is the story of the longest escape dug in WW2? Where is the lost Jewish cemetery that is getting a new life? Debra Brunner, co-founder and CEO of The Together Plan charity UK and founder and President of Jewish Tapestry Project (USA), will be taking us on a journey of discovery to a country with a very big Jewish story.

Debra Brunner is the co-founder and CEO of The Together Plan. She has lived in the USA and has travelled extensively through Belarus. Debra has been working in the field of Jewish community development and Jewish cultural heritage in Belarus for over 17 years. She is a passionate advocate for Jewish community, history, heritage and identity. She is also the founder of the Polotsk Jewish Cultural Educational Foundation in Belarus and the Jewish Tapestry Project in the USA. Debra has worked tirelessly to grow The Together Plan in order to give agency to Jewish people coming out of a traumatic past, to empower them and give them skills and self-belief to rebuild and revive. It is Debra’s mantra that together we can make a real and positive difference for a better, stronger and more cohesive Jewish landscape in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
