Engaging FSU Immigrant Senior Citizens
Jewish Community Action works to engage immigrant senior citizens from the former Soviet Union in Jewish learning and culture, community building and organizing, and recreation. Lyudmyla Petrenko, a Minnesota resident and native of Ukraine, is the staff member for this unique initiative.
JCA collaborates on this project with the Minneapolis Jewish Federation, Sabes JCC, Jewish Family and Children's Service of Minneapolis, and Booth Manor.

Supreme Court Decision Impacts Postville
On May 4, 2009, the United States Supreme
Court ruled unanimously that undocumented workers who use false Social
Security numbers to get jobs are not, by definition, guilty of
"aggravated identity theft." The Court determined that the federal
law on identity theft only applies to those who knowingly use the
identity of a real person.
