NEW YORK, Jan. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The World Jewish Congress mourns the passing of Yuri Shtern, a Member of Knesset and a leader of the Jewish people. In over 30 years of community and political activism -- in the Soviet Union, Israel, and around the world -- he fought tirelessly against anti-Semitism and in support of restitution for victims of the Holocaust. Yuri was a leader in many initiatives with the World Jewish Congress and our affiliates. His talent, commitment and creativity will be sorely missed. May his family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
