Acheinu Bnei Yisrael in Ukraine are in the midst of a terrifying war.
With the backing of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, Agudath Israel of America has
taken up the cause of the Jewish communities scattered
throughout Ukraine, together with the Shma Yisroel Foundation, under the leadership of veteran Rabanim and Mechanchim who have been active in the Former Soviet Union for decades.
The Agudah has been networking with various organizations involved with the
kehillos in Ukraine. Many Jews have, Baruch Hashem, managed to flee the
warzone. However, there are still many Jews who must be evacuated.
In addition, thousands of Jewish refugees require food and
basic necessities.
There is a desperate need for funds to help Ukrainian Jewry. The cost to evacuate each individual can be over $10,000. The costs for chartering buses has increased tenfold since the crisis began, and there are many other costs associated with helping a Jew evacuate until he safely crosses the border out of Ukraine
The situation in Ukraine is getting more difficult with each passing hour, and it is vital that we evacuate everyone before it will be too late.
This money will be distributed among the various organizations, so that
every single dollar will be put toward helping the refugee families.
