Second Bukharian Congress of USA and
Canada |

A decade after its official commencement, on
January 23, 2010 The Bukharian Community
Center welcomed with open arms The Second
Annual Bukharian Congress of USA and Canada.
Delegates from 50 organizations were invited
from around the USA and Canada to unite for
a historic event in our community. The
Bukharian Jewish Community Center in New
York City was the heart of the action for
this incredible uniformity of youth
representatives. The mission of this
Congress was to discuss, as a National
Organization, several topics affecting every
organization simultaneously. No matter where
in the country we Bukharians are scattered,
we are all from one common background with
the same history and therefore must march
into the future as one culture.
Among the delegates from various “Grown-Up”
organizations, there was a vast majority of
Bukharian Youth Organizations. This is a
wonderful achievement for ukharians because
these youth organizations work to continue
and spread the ideas of our culture to
inspire future generations of Bukharians.
Our grandparents and parents instilled in us
the values which we are able to pass onto
our children thus ensuring that ten, twenty,
thirty years from now the Bukharian Culture
will continue to thrive and flourish.
The Congress for the Youth was on the first
night, January 23, 2010. Sixteen
representatives were present and among those
in attendance were our own youth
organizations from NYC, BJOY and Achdut-Unity.
The main topics for discussion and debate
included:
§ Integration of Bukharian culture into
American Life (is it a losing battle?)
§ Language programs
§ Past/Present/Future
§ UNITY (yes/no)
§ Community Center
§ Building blocks for youth organizations
(both developed and new)
§ Student Fund
§ Life coaching programs
§ Fund Raising
§ Youth in Politics
 
The Chief
Rabbi of Bukharian Jews, Rabbi Yehoshua, opened the ceremony with an
invigorating speech of coming together as
one culture and maintaining our religion as
one nation. Boris Kandov, the President of
the Bukharian Community Center of New York,
inspired the youth with his story of coming
to America and beginning his journey to
unify the Bukharian Jews under one
organization.
Speakers included Rafael Nektalov, Chief
Editor of the Bukharian times, Vera Aronova,
First President of Bukharian Jewish
Organization of Youth (BJOY), David Mavashev,
CEO of NASTEL Corp., among others. They all
gave insight into how crucial it is that we
must all act like leaders and continue to
unify and pass down our cultural values and
stop assimilation. Regardless of the
circumstances, one must always think and
perform like a leader.
Further, Alex Yadgarov, the acting President
of BJOY was presented an award for his
achievements within the community. On behalf
of BJOY team he commented on the success of
the events and on the success of unifying
the youth to act as one. He introduced the
upcoming events that BJOY will host, among
those being several encouraging lectures
from renowned Rabbis, and parties for
everyone to take part in. The purpose of
BJOY is to unify the youth into one group
where everyone can come and be a part of a
greater sector in their community. Together,
in unity, as BJOY, we will achieve great
things!
As the Bukharian youth, we have already
achieved many great things. At CUNY Queens
College, we just opened a new class for the
study of Bukharian Jewish History and
Culture. Now the future generation who does
not know where we came from or who we are
will have the opportunity to learn this and
so much more.
We also succeeded in placing a Bukharian
woman onto the ballot for Assembly Woman of
NYS. Lilliana Zulunova, is a young woman
from our Bukharian Community who is striving
to become the first Bukharian in the
political sphere of life. We wish her the
best of luck and will stand behind her every
step of the way.
These are just a few examples of how far we
as a culture and as a national community
have come. But we have a long way to go and
I am confident that in our time we will see
Bukharians in every aspect of life achieving
great things and continually setting
examples for the growing generations of
Bukharians.
