Natasha was born in Kazan, Russia in 1971. In 1993, she became a believer and connected with Jews for Jesus, where she met her husband, Leonid.

Since 2019, their family moved to Germany to serve with our team in Berlin. Leonid and Natasha serve as leaders of the Russian-speaking ministry. They founded and continue to develop the “Alef” community. Their Shabbats are not just services; they are a time of family fellowship and unity, and an opportunity to meet new people. For those who seek connection in a more informal setting, they host the “Alef Club.” Here they enjoy creative art and cooking workshops, play board games, and explore the city through excursions.

Each year, they organize trips for family camp, held just outside Berlin. Many young people and teenagers come to the camp and become connected to community life. In the near future, they will be launching an initiative for Youth Shabbat.
