The Jewish community can take pride in the fact that a few prominent Jewish and Israeli organizations aren’t just collecting funds to assist in the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the Ukraine; they are also providing direct aid to the refugees. Orthodox Union In a press release on Thursday, March 10, the Orthodox Union stated: “Among the millions of Ukrainians fleeing or trying to survive in war-torn Ukraine, there are 200,000 Ukrainian Jews in dire need of food and medical supplies.
