Very interesting (a Pevzner, no less). I hope there will be more programs like Adin Lo - from the sound of it, it may be more successful than many local Jewish programs, the need for which grows daily. Obviously, the parents in the article (and in all such cases) are also a key component to successful intervention.
I notice that the article states 65% of the mothers are unmarried. Is single parenthood so common in Russia today - or is this program an unusual representation?

From what I have seen in Russia, when you a kid about his father - he doesent even know of his existence "Papa Nyeto"! Its a sad situation. And when someone comes from a normal family (ie a father and mother), its noticed - the kid is different.

From COL:
http://www.col.org.il/news_pages.asp?0
Exclusive to COL: Advocate Nechama Tsibbin has recently discovered that a 40-dunam strip of land between Ashkelon and Kiryat Gat, is the property of the Rashag, Rabbi Shmaryahu Gurary, ob'm, son-in-law of the previous Rebbe and brother-in-law of the Rebbe. The Rashag, who lived in Tel Aviv in the winter of 5695, had purchased this area, which is registered in his name: Shmaryus Gurary. The area, although vacant and unused is worth some $100,000.
Interestingly, this land strip is close to where the government aspires to transfer the Gush Katif settlers in the framework of the disengagement plan. Tsibbin claims that Rabbi Gurary's heirs will have to prove their eligibility to inherit this strip of land in an Israeli court. Other locations in Israel, known to belong to the Rebbe's household are the building on Harav Kook's street in Tel Aviv, which was Tsach's location before it moved to Kfar Chabad, properties in Chevron and an property in Givat Shaul, which has been sold.
COL will continue to follow up on this issue, and will report further developments. View copies of the relevant documents in Full Story.
