Congregations across the country describe a great spiritual awakening in times of strife and as thousands of Jews are expected to flock to synagogues this holiday, they will hold in their hearts prayer for peace
Tens of thousands of Ukrainian Jews will welcome the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, under fire on Sunday evening as the end of the bloody war with Russia seems to be nowhere in sight.
Local rabbis and Chabad emissaries handed out tons of food packages and other forms of aid to members of Jewish communities throughout Ukrainian cities.
"Despite the great strife, the community's Jews arrived to the distribution at the large synagogue we built in the center of the city. Everyone is getting used to this sad reality."
