Jewish Life in Ukraine at the Dawn of the Twenty-First Century: Part Two

Jewish Life in Ukraine at the Dawn of the Twenty-First Century: Part Two

April 15, 2001 | Dr. Betsy Gidwitz
Local Jewish volunteer leadership in Ukraine is most likely to emerge in the federated community organizations established and nurtured by a small number of community rabbis, such as Rabbi Kaminezki in Dnipropetrovsk (Philanthropic Fund of the Dnipropetrovsk Jewish Community) or Rabbi Bleich in Kyiv (Kyiv Municipal Jewish Community), who endorse multiple Jewish community institutions. (Rabbi Vishedski of Donetsk supports a similar effort.)
