ANTI-SEMITISM ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT
Impunity of anti-Semitism entails its propagation in mass media, penetration into court instances, into certain circles of intelligentsia, both rightist and leftist.
HISTORY... GEOGRAPHY... MEMORY!
Babiy Yar... Namely this locality is considered the beginning of the Jewish Holocaust, the place of first mass shootings of Jews.
EVERYBODY IS USED TO AWAITING HELP HERE
According to the Director of Fund for development of Jewish communities in Russia and Ukraine, Jews residing here - in Ukraine and Russia - know better how to develop their life.

TORAH
Rejecting Torah, a Jew wipes off his own national traits, - considers Rabbi Sender Uritsky.

TO HIS EXCELLENCY
PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE
MISTER LEONID KUCHMA

Your Excellency,

With deep regret I have learned about a tragic air catastrophe that occurred during an aviation show and took away such a huge number of human lives.

Allow me to express to You personally and to all Ukrainian people in your person, on my own behalf and on behalf of Israeli people, our sorrow and sincere condolences to the families which bore such a big loss.

We wish the wounded a soonest recovery.

Moshe Katsav, President of State of Israel
Jerusalem, July 28, 2002.

TATYANA YEVSTAFJEVA

Babiy Yar... Again the name of one of Kiev biggest ravines disturbs the minds of Kievites. Namely this territory is considered the beginning of Jewish Holocaust in Europe, the place of first mass shootings of Jews though a shooting wave reaching Kiev came from the border. Kiev became the first big city completely "cleared of Jews". Kiev was cleared of Jews namely in Babiy Yar where an almost entire city Jewish population was exterminated. Namely here they plan to erect a "Heritage" Jewish community cultural center to house a research institute, museum, auditorium, club, recreational complex, cafe etc.

Sender Uritsky

SENDER URITSKY

Our wise men have a term - "tsura" that means "form" in Hebrew. This is an idea of any object, all its characteristics defining a super task of an object or phenomenon in the world. The idea God determined for the Jewish nation is Torah. There is no other way of existence for Jews. Any assimilating elements necessarily lead to a loss of form. Having refused from Torah a Jew wipes out his own national traits. Read
