Jews Are Once Again Fleeing Ukraine
(Washington Post) Miriam Berger - Jewish aid organizations estimate that there are still 200,000 Ukrainian Jews. Since Russia invaded, Ukrainian Jews are pouring out of the country or digging in to fight. Rabbis have fled with their congregants, and synagogues, community centers and schools are closed. Some Ukrainians are relocating to Israel. A consortium of Jewish groups has shepherded 3,000 Ukrainians who identify as Jewish into Moldova and 3,000 more into Poland, Hungary and Romania, Michael Geller, the director of media relations for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, a relief organization, said Sunday.
