“I believe that this award belongs not only to me, but also to all the members of the Jewish community,” commented Rabbi Liron Ehdrei, the FJC’s representative and Chief Rabbi of Krivoy Rog, Ukraine, after receiving the award for Jewish culture development from the city’s mayor.

The Rabbi added: “I want to especially thank my partners and sponsors, headed by the chairman Vladimir Nemirovsky who supports us and the Department of Culture and Tourism of the Krivoy Rog City Council, which helped the community show their concern for the youth of the city.”
