Shabbat for Ukrainian Jews
February 24, 2023

To mark the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Jewish Federations across North America are joining with the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) for a “Shabbat for Ukrainian Jews.”

As we celebrate Shabbat collectively that day, we encourage families to incorporate these reflections on the difficulties still faced by Jews in Ukraine, with guidance for Candle Lighting, Shalom Aleichem, and Hamotzi.
