Jewish Refugees taken in across Ukraine

On March 23, 2015

For now it seems that a tentative peace treaty is holding Ukraine. The future of Eastern Ukraine, however, still looks grim.

Over the last year and half, over 65 thousand Jews from eastern Ukraine have been forced to flee their homes due to the fighting near their homes. Two entire FJC communities, Lugansk and Donetsk, were resettled. At first, they moved into our summer camp facilities in the rural areas, then relocated to different Jewish communities across the country.
