In the light of the Russian attack on Ukraine, the World Union for Progressive Judaism launches the Ukraine Crisis Fund. We ask people from all over the world to make donations towards the support of the Ukrainian Jewish community.
Money will be spent on individuals and communities to ensure their safety and well-being. If the conflict escalates further, your money will become crucial and necessary help for many people. If the tension eases, the fund will be spent on the development of the progressive Jewish community in Ukraine.

Message from Samantha Woolfe, President of Kehilat Gesher:
Dear friends, as you know, the war is intensifying in Ukraine. The images and testimonies that reach us are unbearable. Thousands, and soon millions of people have left/will leave the country to go to the West. This is the case of many Jewish families (between 70,000 and 120,000 Jews in Ukraine) who seek security. Several associations and people from the community have mounted a rescue operation to help some thirty Jewish refugees from Ukraine. They will arrive in France soon. Faced with this human drama, I ask you to mobilize and share this information around you. You will find the details of the operation below.
