Over the last months the world has learned the new words - the names of Ukrainian towns and villages attacked by the Russian troops.
Each and every of these towns has its own unique Jewish history and heritage.

I invite you to start exploring the Ukrainian Jewish Heritage and visit three cities in the East and South of Ukraine - Kharkiv (the origin of my husband's family), Mariupol' and Kherson.

As always I have prepared the detailed talk with old and new photographs of towns, Synagogues, Jewish families, homes and more.

We will discuss:

When and how the first Jews settled in these areas;

Special and unique features of the Jewish communities in each of three towns;

The story of agricultural Jewish settlements around Kherson;

Karaites community in Kharkiv;

Jewish businesses, education, traditions, everyday life, ups and downs, success and disaster - we will cover the most important and interesting details.
