Enjoy a virtual Havdalah, see your friends, and learn about Ukraine. As we follow news of today's war in Ukraine, many of us see connections to our personal family history and to Jewish community history. In the past 150 years, Jews in this fluctuating land have experienced pogroms, Nazi genocide, and Soviet persecutions. Among the stories of devastating loss and forced and voluntary migrations, we can trace the continuity of Jewish identity. Learn about Ukraine’s Jewish history from Carole Kantor, the current situation from Boris Nenide, who recently returned from helping Ukrainian refugees in Poland, and Ukrainian music from Cantor Jacob Niemi.
