Despite recent escalations in the ongoing crisis, 45 students and young professionals from across Ukraine participated in a seminar to re-energize and reinvigorate leaders of tomorrow.
Rabbi Pinchas Vishedski who led the event, along with his wife Dina, commented: “In the last few weeks, sirens have been heard across the country countlessly, causing masses to flee for safety and shelter. This is why the Carpathian Mountains were chosen to host the seminar and provide the youngsters at least a few days of tranquility and peace.”
During the seminar, the students enjoyed field trips, development activities, and lectures on a variety of topics; the highlight was a beautiful Shabbat celebration that continued late into the night.
This project was made possible thanks to several organizations including the STARS World Organization, led by Rabbi Avi Kessel, and the YAHAD organization directed by Rabbi Mendy Wilansky. We are grateful for their partnership and support as we continue to provide for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the Jews of Ukraine.
