This posting of social services with telephone numbers, locations and times is in Russian and English (probably for the benefit of American donors). A very large percentage of the Jews in Latvia today are immigrants from the former Soviet Union who speak Russian rather than Latvian, the official state language. 92% of the native Latvian Jewish population was killed in the Holocaust, so survivors and their descendents are a smaller percentage of the Jewish population.
