A Moment in Time: Support for the Jewish Community of Ukraine

[additional-authors]
February 24, 2022

Dear all,

As we tucked our children in for the night, my heart soared with the innocence of their childhood. I then turned to the news of the military operation in Ukraine …. And my heart sank. Though Ukraine is a world away, the Jewish community is a heartbeat away. And while we may not be in a position to effectuate international relations, there is a tremendous mitzvah we can do by helping our people – as well as many others who are threatened in this conflict.

Please join me in making a donation to the Ukraine Crisis Fund through the World Union for Progressive Judaism (WUPJ). The WUPJ is the international organization of Reform Judaism. Our dollars will go to ensure the safety and security of individuals and communities.

Please do not put this off. Right now is the moment in time to make a difference. The world needs our action.

With love, and with prayers of Shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
