With no apparent end in sight, and amidst daily revelations of new atrocities by Vladimir Putin's forces, the ongoing war in Ukraine concerns each and every one of us. Since the outbreak of hostilities, we have been, and continue to be, in close contact with our Masorti/Conservative communities in Kyiv, Chernivtsi, Odessa, Kharkiv and Dnipro – who are spending unimaginable nights in bomb shelters and are trying to find refuge in the west of Ukraine and in other countries.
Masorti Olami, together with our partners at The Schechter Institutes, have been responding to the needs of our communities, providing care packages to children in Kharkiv, securing shelter and medical supplies for those in need, and organizing transport and accommodation for those fleeing their homes. To date, we have helped hundreds of individuals and families evacuate to safety, thanks to the help of Movement-wide fundraising efforts and other Jewish organizations, including UJA, JDC and IsraAid, and are working to assist many more. But our work has only just begun.
The question we must ask is: when the Russians leave, what then? Huge swathes of Ukraine already lie in ruins, along with the lives of millions of refugees who have lost their homes, families and livelihoods. Rebuilding will take years. We need to be there for them now, in the midst of the crisis, and in the aftermath, to help put the pieces back together.
That's why we have partnered together with the Cantors Assembly to present a Facebook and YouTube premiere on Sunday, June 26 at 10 AM ET: Mivtza Ukraine (Operation Ukraine), music, inspiration and hope for the people of Ukraine. We will hear beautiful music from world-class instrumentalists and some of the Masorti/Conservative Movement’s top voices. We will meet refugees–both within Ukraine and those who have fled–-listen to their stories, share prayers and messages of solidarity and inspiration from leaders of the Masorti/Conservative movement from around the world, and learn about the critical work Masorti Olami and Schechter are doing to bring relief to refugees and to lay the groundwork for rebuilding when the conflict has ended. Our goal is to unite all corners of the Masorti/Conservative Jewish world for a single hour with one purpose: to help the people of Ukraine. All funds raised will go directly to Ukraine Emergency Campaign.
The Gathering Place provides a free of charge loving, safe and fun environment for care partners experiencing memory loss due to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke or other forms of dementia.
The Gathering Place meets once a month, at Congregation Beth Yeshurun. The meetings combine physical movement, socialization, music, and other memory-stimulating activity in a safe and comfortable 2 hour time block, enabling caregivers to attend to their personal needs without worry. A professional staff member attends each Gathering Place to provide expert support and assistance to the volunteers. The Beth Yeshurun Sisterhood is a proud suporter of the Gathering Place.
