GREAT
HOPES
Palestinian terrorists laying a bomb in the Jewish University intended to kill as many as possible Jews should even Arabs suffer.
WAR IS
GOING ON
Like WWII, the war of terrorists against the Western civilization began with attacks on Jews. Like in 1930's, any delay in this war enhances a victory price.
BLACK WORD AND
FOUL DEED
Unstopped evil gets impudent. Profaning Jewish graves in Kiev and desecrating monuments to Holocaust victims in Zhytomir and Ivankov testify to this.
IN AUGUST
OF 1952
13 members of the Jewish anti-fascist committee (JAC) were shot dead after the falsified case half a century ago, August 12, 1952.

Lvov district. Restoration of the synagogue, constructed in 1692 and included into the catalogue of one hundred world monuments on the edge of disappearance, has started in the town Zholkva of Lvov region. According to the director of Zholkovsky center of city development Mikhail Kubay, funds for reconstruction of the unique monument were provided by the Fund for world monuments in New-York.

To fully restore the premises $1 million is indispensable. $60.000 has already arrived to the Lvov region. But after the reconstruction the synagogue will not be used directly for its purpose, as in Zholkva there are almost no Jews and no registered religious Jewish community. The synagogue will become a center of Galicija Jewish culture. A unique collection of Judaics kept in the Lvov museums will move in here.

Khmelnitsky. A city native, tank commander Vladimir Vaiser was posthumously given a rank of the Soviet Union Hero for his feat during the fights for the liberation of Ukraine from German conquerors.

Due to efforts of the public, firstly by Moisei Loyfer residing now in Israel, the city authorities decided to name one of the streets after the hero. Recently M.Loyfer took part in an opening of a plaque in honor of a brave tanker.

Donetsk. A delegation of American students from the states of New-York, New-Jersey, Minnesota, Connecticut, California, Texas and Nebraska - pupils of the Khabad-Liubavichi movement schools - visited the city.

A trip around the cities of Russia and Ukraine proceeds under the program "Khabad history - yesterday, today, tomorrow". They visit memorials dedicated to the development of the Khabad movement, discover charitable and educational programs in Jewish communities of former communist states.

In Donetsk American girls visited a Jewish community, charitable fund "Khesed Tzedaka", Jewish school and kindergarten.

Crimea. A youth Jewish camp in Crimea, accommodating simultaneously 250 children, holds a game "Exodus" for each shift.

Children are awaken at 02.00 AM, told about the events of those years, then they board a ship and after one hour trip they return. Everything looks like in 1948.

This game lets children familiarize with the events of past years, becomes an impetus for deeper studies of the Jewish history. A lot of children and teens, after the returning from the camp, enter the youth clubs, get actively involved into "Sokhnut" programs.
