of the Kremlin's official policy. In an effort to combat religious practices among Jews, the leadership of the Jewish Autonomous Region held a series of lectures designed to undercut the appeal of Jewish Religion. This notice from the 1930s was posted throughout the region and listed a series of lectures and other events that were held in factories and workers' clubs at Passover time. The lectures covered such topics as the incompatibility of socialism and religion. The programs also targeted women, who were seen as the bulwark of religious belief and practices in the Jewish family.
