A framework of programs for Russian-speaking families based on themes of Jewish identity and Israeli society and history. MAPAT Family Programming (MFP) was established in 2004 with the help of the New York Federation to address the generational gap that exists between the majority of Russian-speaking parents, who are disconnected from their Jewish heritage, and their children who are continuously exposed to it in Israeli schools. The core of the program revolves around eight family clubs throughout Israel, all in cities with significant Russian-speaking populations. Typically, parents and children meet separately during two of the monthly meetings (the parents attend lectures while the children participate in their own activities), and gather together for family workshops during the other weeks. In addition to the weekly meetings, the family club program also includes excursions to places of Jewish interest, large-scale holiday programming, and a family summer seminar as part of MAPAT‘s annual summer camp.  During 2009/10, 380 families (around 750 individuals) attend weekly programming; 100 took part in the summer seminar; almost 1,500 people participate in some part of MAPAT family programming.
