How for the first time in the world a fallen IDF soldier was commemorated in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv

This is the first case in world practice where a street in a city outside of Israel has been named after a fallen IDF soldier.

A street in Kharkiv has been named after Sergeant of the Israel Defense Forces Alexei (Asher) Neikov, who saved dozens of children from death during a terrorist attack on a school bus. This was reported by Israeli journalist Shimon Briman in his article on the website "Ukrainian-Jewish Encounter".

In September 1996, 17-year-old Alexei independently repatriated to Israel from Kharkiv. He was preparing to study at the Technion — dreaming of the department of astronautics and aerodynamics. But he decided to first serve in the IDF — the Israel Defense Forces.

On October 29, 1998, terrorists directed a car filled with explosives at two school buses carrying Jewish children near the settlement of Kfar Darom.

Israeli soldiers guarding the buses managed to turn their jeep across the road — and took the hit themselves. The children were unharmed, two soldiers were injured. One died. It was Sergeant Alexei (Asher) Neikov.

Sergeant of the Israel Defense Forces Alexei (Asher) Neikov — a hero, writes Shimon Briman, who saved dozens of children from death during…

Hair Health Center ‘Abramsky’ in Haifa: when itching, hair loss, and ‘thinning part’ stop being trivial

There are problems that people try to "endure" for a long time.
Hair on the brush. Scalp itch. The feeling that the ponytail has become thinner. The parting has widened. And also — the eternal "maybe it's seasonal." In Israel, this sounds especially familiar: heat, sun, humidity, stress, abrupt changes in care and water — all this affects the scalp and follicles.

Therefore, many at some point stop googling another "shampoo for everything" and look for a place where they first deal with the cause, and only then offer a plan. In Haifa, such an address for many becomes the "Abramsky" Hair Health Center — the Russian-language main page is here:

Why "just hair loss" often turns out to be a system of causes

The most common pain is the feeling of losing control.
Yesterday everything was fine, and today hair remains in the shower drain, on the pillow, on clothes. People start taking typical steps: changing shampoos, buying vitamins, trying masks, canceling coloring, enduring itching. Sometimes it gets easier, but often — not for long.

The problem is that hair loss and thinning often go hand in hand with scalp irritation: inflammation, increased oiliness, dryness, flaking. And until…

Israel has officially begun preparations for the «2000th Anniversary of the Baptism of Jesus Christ» in 2030 — what is it about?

The Israeli Foreign Ministry has begun preparations for the year 2030, which the authorities and church leaders of Jordan call the 2000th anniversary of the Baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River. However, there is no unified decision from the Vatican, the Ecumenical Patriarchate, or all Christian churches regarding such a jubilee. Moreover, the date 2030 itself is historically contentious.

On July 15, 2026, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar ordered the creation of a special task force to prepare for events related to the supposed two-thousandth anniversary of the Baptism of Jesus Christ.

The group was headed by Ambassador George Deek, Israel's special envoy for relations with the Christian world. In a statement from the Foreign Ministry, the event was described as having deep spiritual significance for more than two billion Christians. Israel expects that millions of pilgrims may arrive in the region.

At first glance, a logical question arises: why is the Foreign Ministry of the Jewish state involved in preparing for a Christian jubilee?

The answer is that Israel did not set the date, did not establish a religious holiday, and does not plan to conduct church…

The name of the Hero of Ukraine with a Jewish soul has become a wine in Israel

Young Israelis still feel the pain of losing a Ukrainian comrade with whom they created a Zionist project — an organic farm at the foot of Mount Carmel. In memory of their friend, who heroically died repelling Russian aggression against Ukraine, they named a new wine made from the vineyards he planted.

On March 12, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded Kostyantyn Mrochko the title of Hero of Ukraine — the country's highest military honor for courage and heroism.

His body was not buried as it burned along with the tank.
"In Israel, Kostya was spiritually reborn and restored. He was not Jewish, but we held a memorial ceremony for him in March 2023. We remember his quick reactions, his work ethic, courage, all his human qualities."

Kostya, known as Kostyantyn Mrochko, was a tank operator, builder, and craftsman with golden hands. He was a nature and agriculture enthusiast, as well as a joker and inventor with a kind heart. After participating in tank battles in Donbas, he moved to Israel, where he worked in construction and joined the "Lev Adam" organic farm. Kostya was a respected and beloved comrade, leaving a deep impression on everyone who knew him. He was…

A memorial plaque for Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, repressed by the NKVD for preserving Jewish life, was unveiled at the Lukyanivska Detention Center in Kyiv.

A memorial plaque has appeared in the active Lukyanivska detention center for a man who was interrogated and beaten here for refusing to renounce Judaism. The story of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson today unites Kyiv, Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Kamianske, Kazakhstan, and the entire Chabad world.
Where they tried to break him: a memorial to Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson was opened in the Lukyanivska detention center.

Memorial plaques are usually installed on the facades of houses, in universities, synagogues, or museums. In Kyiv, a commemorative sign appeared in a much more grim place — inside the active Lukyanivska detention center.

It was here in the spring of 1939 that NKVD officers brought Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson — the chief rabbi of Yekaterinoslav-Dnipropetrovsk, an outstanding scholar of the Torah and Kabbalah, the father of the future Seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

The plaque was unveiled on August 3, 2026, on the 20th of Av, 5786 — the yahrzeit, or anniversary of the death of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak according to the Jewish calendar. It has been 82 years since his death in Soviet exile. Now inside the institution where he was deprived of freedom, it is…

Israeli Friends of Ukraine presented 37 stamps for the 35th anniversary of Ukraine: who is depicted and how to buy

On the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence, Israeli Friends of Ukraine, supported by Leonid Nevzlin, presented a collection of 37 postage stamps. I read both compositions by names and plots, checked the Israeli part of the project, and understood.

Author: R.Verter

On August 24, 2026, on the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's independence, the Israeli public organization Israeli Friends of Ukraine presented, with the support of Leonid Nevzlin, a collection of postage stamps "Cultural Code of the Nation." The anniversary series includes 35 plots: 28 Ukrainian cultural and public figures and seven episodes or symbols of the war. Two more stamps — about Israeli Friends of Ukraine and Nevzlin himself — were immediately taken out of the anniversary count by the organizers. Therefore, there are 37 stamps, although 35 are dedicated to the anniversary.

Before writing, I did not limit myself to the announcement text. I enlarged both images, read each caption, recounted the portraits and military plots, then compared what I saw with the information from IFU, Ukrposhta, the JGive charity platform, and the NADAV foundation. This simple check changed my view of the project. The most…

Jews from Ukraine: from Uman to the White City. Yehuda Magidovich, the first architect of Tel Aviv

The first chief architect of Tel Aviv – a city destined to become one of the most influential capitals in the world, was a native of Uman, Yehuda Magidovich, the son of Uman women's hat designer Binyamin Zvi and Uman housewife named Rachel. When one of the founders of the State of Israel and its first prime minister David Ben-Gurion in 1925 organized a ceremonial reception for the most respected guest, Baron Rothschild – he did it in the Great Synagogue of Tel Aviv, built by a man from Uman…

In the section "Jews from Ukraine" – Yehuda Magidovich (January 21, 1886, Uman, Ukraine — January 5, 1961, Tel Aviv, Israel).
From Uman to the White City: The Story of Yehuda Magidovich

In the mid-19th century, the family of hatter Binyamin-Zvi Magidovich lived in Uman. His workshop smelled of steam, pressed felt and fresh ribbons — it was there, in 1886, that a boy named Leib was born, who later all of Tel Aviv knew as Yehuda Magidovich.

His mother, Rachel Sadovaya, was the keeper of the home, and his father was a master who made hats for both officials and young dandies. Studying in a cheder in a small town was the natural beginning for a Jewish boy of that time. But Leib, in addition to…

Understand Israel: religious movements, Haredim, ‘knitted kippahs’ and the main debate about the future of the state — video by Sophie Ron-Moria / Levi Tabachnikov

On June 28, 2026, a recording of the meeting of the project "Understanding Israel", dedicated to religious movements and sectors in Israel, was released on the World Israel Beytenu channel.

It was not a dry lecture about terms.

The conversation between Sophie Ron-Moria and Levi Tabachnikov was an attempt to explain why it is impossible to truly understand modern Israel without understanding its internal religious and social groups: its politics, army, education, conflicts, elections, culture, and daily life.

The guest of the episode was Sophie Ron-Moria — a lawyer, journalist, publicist, writer, columnist for "Maariv", and participant in discussions on Channel 9. In the conversation, she was presented as a representative of the national-religious environment, that is, religious Zionism — the sector often called "knitted kippahs" or dati-leumi in Israel.

The host of the meeting was Levi Tabachnikov. He defined the topic as part of the "Understanding Israel" series of meetings of the "Beytenu Olami" project, where various specialists and residents of the country help to understand how Israeli society, the state of Israel, and Jewish life within it are structured.

The Alibi Sisters in Israel: the Zaval’ski sisters bring Ukrainian-Jewish music, Yiddish and klezmer — October 2026

In October 2026, Israel will once again hear The Alibi Sisters — the duo of Anna and Angelina Zavalsky, Ukrainian sisters from Kyiv, who have journeyed from the popular group "Алібі" to a project where the Ukrainian scene, Jewish memory, Yiddish, klezmer, and retro aesthetics sound like one story.

The tour will take place from October 10 to 18, 2026, covering several cities in Israel: Nof HaGalil, Ashdod, Netanya, Ashkelon, Rishon LeZion, Petah Tikva, Be'er Sheva, and Haifa. All concerts are scheduled for 20:00, and tickets, according to the organizers Showman, range from 174 to 265 shekels in different cities.

Tickets are already available on the Showman website.

This is not just a tour of a Ukrainian duo.

For many Israelis, especially those whose family histories are connected with Kyiv, Podolia, Odessa, Chernivtsi, Zhytomyr, Berdychiv, or Uman, this concert may be a meeting with that cultural world that cannot always be explained in words. It lives in songs, intonations, old records, family recipes, Yiddish words, grandmother's memories, and that special music where joy and sadness almost never exist separately.

Who are The Alibi Sisters

Jews from Ukraine: “Beitaniya Illit” is the first Zionist youth commune in Israel “Shomer Ha-Tzair”, founded by immigrants from Galicia (Ukraine) —

Jews from Ukraine, including from Galicia, played a significant role in the formation of modern Israel.

One of the iconic stories was the founding in 1920 of the first Zionist commune, Beitaniya Illit, associated with the Shomer HaTzair youth movement. This was not just an experiment, but a whole philosophy that formed the basis of many future kibbutzim.

Young Jews from Galicia, inspired by the ideas of returning to the Land of Israel, came here to build a new life. They were united by belonging to the Shomer HaTzair movement, based on the principles of collectivism, equality and labor.

The commune collapsed after 8 months of difficult trials, but gave birth to dozens of kibbutzim and leaders of Israel.

Commune Beitaniya Illit was located in the Lower Galilee, not far from the Kinneret, at the intersection of roads to Kibbutz Alumot.

In 1964, a memorial dedicated to the Shomer HaTzair movement and the 73 kibbutzim founded by members of this movement was opened here. that's where it is on the map.

The tent-like monument was designed by architect Yechiel Arad. From the top of the memorial there is a panoramic view of the Jordan Valley, Kinneret, Golan Heights and Hermon.

Video: «Satanovsky Necropolis — One of the Oldest Jewish Necropolises in Ukraine» — Report by Ukrainian TV Channel

"The Sataniv Jewish cemetery operated for almost 500 years. The ancient core of the cemetery is the burial of the 15th, 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. It numbers about one thousand tombstones. This period marks the flourishing of the carving art of the Jewish people."

In the Horodok district of the Khmelnytsky region of Ukraine, ancient cemeteries are being studied. This is done within the framework of the "Graves of Ancestors" project in cooperation with the public organization "Ukraine Incognita." Fourteen Ukrainian, Polish, and Jewish cemeteries have already been studied. The Jewish ones are the best preserved.

The collection «Islands of Memory» in Ukrainian, English, and Hebrew: how Buchach unites Ukraine, Israel, and Agnon’s literature

On the western map of Ukraine, there is a city whose name has become a symbol of cultural memory — Buchach. It was here that the future Nobel laureate Shmuel Yosef Agnon was born, a writer who combined Jewish spirituality and European philosophy. A century later, this city resonates again — now as the site of a literary residency and the book “Islands of Memory”, where Ukrainian authors reflect on time, identity, and Agnon's legacy. The publication has become a cultural bridge between Ukraine, Israel, and the diaspora, uniting texts in three languages — Ukrainian, English, and Hebrew.

Return to the origins: the city where it all began

Buchach is a small town in the Ternopil region, once the center of Galicia, where Ukrainian, Jewish, and Polish traditions intertwined. It was here in 1888 that Shmuel Yosef Agnon was born — a future classic who became one of the creators of modern Israeli literature.
His childhood was spent among ancient synagogues, baroque churches, and river slopes, where every place held traces of prayers and songs in Hebrew and Yiddish. Later, these motifs came to life in his books, and Buchach itself became a kind of archetype — a city of memory where the…

«Yiddish — a language rooted in Ukrainian soil»: how this language adapts to new realities and why it needs to be supported in Ukraine — video

In early February 2026, Ukraїner released a conversation about the Yiddish language as part of the podcast "Language Issue" — a Ukrainian project about languages considered vulnerable and in need of support. The guest of the episode is Tetiana Nepypenko, a researcher and teacher of Yiddish, translator, and literary scholar; the conversation is led by Bohdana Romantsova. The episode was made in collaboration with House of Europe with the support of the European Union.

Key points from the conversation in text version (Ukr.):
The key framework of the conversation is formulated simply and strictly: Yiddish is not a "language somewhere alongside Ukrainian history," but part of the fabric of this history, because before World War II, millions spoke Yiddish in Europe, and in the territory of modern Ukraine, there were towns and villages where Yiddish was not a marginal code but an ordinary everyday reality — the language of family, trade, press, theater, and literature. Nepypenko separately articulates the scale of the loss: the Yiddish-speaking community in Ukraine sharply decreased due to the Holocaust and Soviet repressions, and after the creation of Israel, Yiddish in the state…

Is it ‘racism’ or ‘support by Russians for all enemies of Israel’? What is beginning to reach Israeli society, while the government ‘does not notice’ it: the Dolev Cohen scandal on Kan 11

The remark by Dolev Cohen about the Russian language caused a scandal even before the premiere of the new season of 'Four Weddings' on Kan 11. But behind the controversy over the unsuccessful TV promo lies a broader issue: Israelis simultaneously observe HAMAS in Moscow, Russian weapons with Hezbollah, Russia's alliance with Iran, and Russian state symbols inside Israel and... Russian speech in their favorite supermarket.

On August 21, 2026, a few seconds from the advertisement for the new season of 'Four Weddings' on Kan 11 turned into a political scandal. 27-year-old Dolev Cohen from Ramla said to the camera: "Russians. I can't hear this language. I can't hear this language. I walk through the supermarket and various places, and it seeps into my brain." In the same remark, she similarly mentioned Amharic once.

Original - "״Russians. I can't hear the language. Can't hear the language. I walk through the supermarket and places, and it seeps into my brain ״. "

There were two days left before the season premiere. But the discussion was no longer about weddings. The fragment was reacted to by Avigdor Lieberman, Vladimir Bliak, and Evgeny Sova, the latter sent an official letter…

Why does the same query in ChatGPT show different companies today and tomorrow — and what should businesses in Israel do about it

The same question asked to ChatGPT multiple times can lead to different sources, different sites, and even different recommendations. New research has shown: it's not just about the wording of the query. ChatGPT is capable of changing its internal search channel, classifying the question differently, and sometimes not even consulting the internet at all. For small and medium businesses in Israel, this means that one good website is no longer enough.

Not long ago, promoting a business on the internet seemed relatively straightforward.

A company would create a website, set up Google Maps, publish service pages, work on Google rankings, and launch ads.

Today, a potential client increasingly does not browse through ten websites.

They ask:
“Which lawyer to choose in Haifa?”

“Where to get a cosmetic procedure in Kiryat?”

“Who repairs air conditioners in Netanya?”

“Which company handles transportation across Israel?”

“Which specialist speaks Hebrew and Russian?”

And they receive a ready answer with several names from ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, or another AI assistant.

The main problem is that this list is not constant.

Today, artificial intelligence might name your…

Jewish embroidery of Ukraine is not a myth and not an attempt to «invent a Jewish vyshyvanka»

Jewish embroidery in the territory of modern Ukraine is not a myth and not an attempt to "invent a Jewish vyshyvanka." It is a complex layer of culture where synagogue textiles, home rituals, women's headwear, kippahs, bibs, belts, and festive clothing were intertwined with the history of Galicia, Podolia, Volhynia, Kyiv, Bukovina, and other regions.

Every year on the third Thursday of May, Ukraine and the world celebrate World Vyshyvanka Day. The history of Vyshyvanka Day began in 2006 at the Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University.

Today, Vyshyvanka Day is celebrated not only in Ukraine. Ukrainian communities abroad, embassies, cultural centers, volunteers, schools, universities, public organizations, and people who cherish Ukrainian tradition join in. Vyshyvankas are worn in Europe, North America, Australia, Israel, and other countries.

After 2014, and especially after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, this day gained even deeper meaning. For many people, the vyshyvanka became not just beautiful clothing but a symbol of dignity, resistance, memory, and the right of a people to remain themselves.
Why this issue is important right now

When in Ukraine…

Cosmetologist in Haifa — Sol Clinics: hardware cosmetology, RF-lifting, IPL, mesotherapy, acne, pigmentation, cellulite

#promotion - In Haifa, many people seek a cosmetologist not just for a “beauty procedure,” but because their skin has changed: wrinkles, acne, spots, dull complexion, sagging, or cellulite have appeared. Sol Clinics offers consultation, skin diagnostics, and personalized selection of face and body treatments.
Cosmetologist in Haifa: how Sol Clinics helps skin look fresher, younger, and more well-groomed

When someone types the query “cosmetologist Haifa” into Google, it almost always reflects more than just a desire to “do something for the face.”

More often, there is a specific problem behind it.

• The skin has become dull.

• Wrinkles have appeared.

• The facial contour has become less defined.

• Sun-induced pigment spots have become more noticeable.

• Acne persists, even though the teenage years are long gone.

• After acne, traces, scars, or uneven texture remain.

• The skin has lost density.

• A double chin has appeared.

• The body has become swollen, and cellulite is more noticeable.

At this moment, a person needs not a random salon or a “magic procedure,” but a specialist who will calmly assess the skin condition, explain what is happening, and offer a clear…

Jews from Ukraine: Mordechai Shenhavi — creator and first leader «Yad Vashem»

January 27, International Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust Victims.

In Israel, on the mountain of memory in Jerusalem, is located "Yad Vashem" - A place that for many has become a symbol of sorrow, memory and hope. Today we want to tell in the heading "Jews from Ukraine " You are a story Mordechai Shenhavi - A person thanks to whom the dream of preserving memory has become a reality.

The story of Mordechai Shenhavi from Dilok, the creator of the Israeli Memorial “Yad Vashem”, emphasizes the deep connection of the Jewish community of Ukraine while preserving the memory of the Holocaust.

Mordechai Shenhavi (Alpenbein), a native of the Ukrainian city of Volochisk (now the Khmelnitsky region, Ukraine), went down in history as the creator of the Israeli memorial “Yad Vashem”, dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.

His personal history is an example of not only the struggle to preserve the memory of the tragedy of the Jewish people, but also the unique connection of Ukraine and Israel.

Mordechai Shenhavi was born in 1900 in Voloshka, a small town on the territory of the modern Khmelnitsky region of Ukraine. His family, like many Jewish families of that time…

The 7th Ukrainian Air Assault Corps celebrated 3 years: Jewish chaplain Yakov Sinyakov together with Ukrainian paratroopers

The Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine on August 21, 2026, reported on the participation of Rabbi Yakov Sinyakov in an event marking the third anniversary of the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The event itself took place earlier — on July 17, 2026, in Dnipro. The date is not accidental: the command of the 7th Corps was established on July 17, 2023.

For a reader in Israel, the name of the corps commander or the number of the Ukrainian military unit may not mean much by themselves. However, the presence of Sinyakov changes the perspective. Before us is an Orthodox Jewish rabbi who did not come to the military as an honorary guest: he serves within this structure and heads its chaplaincy.

Sinyakov's story speaks to a broader issue that is not always visible from Israel. Ukrainian Jews, along with other citizens of the country, found themselves inside the war against Russian aggression — some serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, some work as volunteers, helping the wounded and military families, some support the fighters as a rabbi or chaplain. Therefore, Sinyakov in the uniform of the 7th Corps is not an exotic detail…

Are you 60+ in Israel and still working? Perhaps the pension fund can already pay you money

Many residents of Israel approach the age of 60 with the feeling that retirement is something distant, complicated, and almost inevitably bureaucratic. As long as there is work, a salary, and a familiar rhythm of life, it seems that dealing with pension funds can be postponed: closer to 67 years, after dismissal, or already when Bituach Leumi sends some documents.

But in reality, this approach often becomes the most costly mistake.

In Israel, the pension system is arranged so that a person can have several different sources of future income: state old-age benefits, a pension fund, Bituach Menahalim, Kupat Gemel, Keren Hishtalmut, severance pay, old savings from previous employers, and additional insurance or pension programs. Some of this money people remember, some they have long forgotten, and some programs they only learn about after a professional review.

And here arises the main question for those who have already turned 60 or are approaching this age: can one already start receiving a pension from the pension fund and continue working?

The answer may be unexpected. In some cases — yes, this possibility is indeed worth checking. But this does not mean that everyone over…

Apartment painting in Haifa and Krayot: why in Israel they sell not a ‘painter’, but peace of mind, deadlines, and a clear estimate

Apartment painting in Haifa, Krayot, Nesher, and Tirat Carmel has long ceased to be a simple household service in Israel from the series "a master came and refreshed the walls." Today, the market is arranged differently: the client buys not a can of paint and not a few passes with a roller, but a predictable result, quick deadlines, neat work in a residential apartment, and no unpleasant surprises in price. For the Israeli audience, this is especially important because the price of a mistake is higher here: a tight rhythm of life, expensive rent, constant lack of time, the need to quickly prepare an apartment for moving in, selling, or re-renting.

That is why the topic of apartment painting goes far beyond repair as such.

In northern Israel, it is closely linked with trust, local housing specifics, humidity by the sea, old housing stock, apartments after tenants, and the owner's desire to put the property in order without heavy capital intervention. For NAnews readers, this story is also interesting because it very accurately shows how client behavior is changing in Israel: people are less and less reacting to the loud 'cheap', and more and more looking for peace of mind, a…

April 22, 2026 — 78 years since the proclamation of the State of Israel: nine out of 37 signatories of the Declaration of Independence were born in the territory of present-day Ukraine

22 апреля 2026 года Израиль отмечает 78-ю годовщину своей Независимости. Именно на эту дату в 2026 году приходится 5 ияра 5786 по еврейскому календарю — день, который соответствует 5 ияра 5708, когда было провозглашено Государство Израиль. Исторически само провозглашение состоялось 14 мая 1948 года в Тель-Авиве.

Это не просто памятная дата в календаре. Речь идет о событии, которое стало поворотным моментом для еврейского народа после Катастрофы, британского мандата, международных споров о будущем Палестины и уже начавшегося вооруженного противостояния. После завершения Второй мировой войны и уничтожения почти трети еврейской общины Европы инициативы по созданию еврейского государства приобрели особое значение. В этот день было не только провозглашено государство, но и начался новый этап борьбы за суверенитет.
Как Израиль подошел к независимости

После Второй мировой войны вопрос о будущем еврейского населения в подмандатной Палестине уже невозможно было откладывать.

Британия продолжала ограничивать еврейскую репатриацию, несмотря на то что сотни тысяч переживших Холокост нуждались в убежище и новой жизни. Для еврейского ишува это означало, что борьба шла уже не только за…

Jews from Ukraine: Tamara Gverdtsiteli, the great Georgian singer and granddaughter of the Odessa rabbi

Tamara Gverdtsiteli: great Georgian singer with Jewish roots. Category 🔯 — Jews from Ukraine #jewsukraine

“It was Putin who killed my mother” - “My Odessa, Odessa my mother is being bombed - we say goodbye to Russia.”

But besides her creativity, her life and story are associated with deep personal dramas and difficult decisions, especially after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.

Tamara (Tamriko) Gverdtsiteli - a name well known in the post-Soviet space. This talented singer, actress and composer, People's Artist of Georgia and other countries, won the hearts of millions with her voice and soulful music.

Tamara's mother, Inna Volfovna Kofman, was Jewish and originally from Odessa, where her family was known for its Jewish heritage. Moreover, Tamara’s grandfather was an Odessa rabbi, which deeply connects her with Jewish culture and history.

After the start of Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the artist canceled her performance in Moscow at a festive concert dedicated to March 8th. According to Gverdtsiteli, she wanted to be close to her mother, who was born in Odessa and was very worried about Putin’s aggression.

“She cries often. All my ancestors are from Odessa…

Ukrainian soldier learns of his Jewish roots and undergoes circumcision after tragedy at the front

While the attention of the Israeli public is focused on the confrontation between Israel and Iran, the war in Ukraine does not subside. Russian missiles continue to strike Ukrainian cities, destroying both civilians and civilian infrastructure.

But amid the destruction, losses, and anxiety, there are also stories that inspire — especially for the Jewish community, both in Ukraine and in Israel.

One of the largest portals for the ultra-Orthodox audience in Israel, “בחדרי חרדים” (Behadrei Haredim), on June 20, 2025, published two stories from Kyiv that vividly reflect how Putin's aggression affects Jewish life in Ukraine.

On one hand — the shelling and destruction of a Talmud Torah building in Kyiv.

We already reported about this on June 10, 2025 — in the photo — a burned Hanukkiah thrown by the explosion, Kyiv, Artem Business Center, Hlybochytska 4, June 10, 2025

On the other hand — the personal story of a Ukrainian soldier who, after witnessing the death of his comrades, discovered his Jewish roots and decided to undergo brit milah (circumcision).

These two events are about pain and hope, about war and faith, about sacrifice and choice. They touch on the deepest levels of…

Jews from Ukraine: David Horowitz. From a young idealist from Drohobych to the first president of the central bank of Israel —

David Horowitz is a name that represents an incredible journey from the small town of Drohobych on the territory of modern Ukraine to the leadership of the financial system of the state of Israel.

His life's journey, full of challenges and achievements, continues to inspire generations.

David Horowitz was born on February 15, 1899 in the city of Drohobych, which at that time was part of Austria-Hungary, and later became part of Western Ukraine.

The region, known for its ethnic and cultural diversity, played an important role in shaping the young Horowitz's worldview.

Drohobych of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was a city with an active Jewish community, which made up about 40% of the population. The Jews of Drohobych were engaged in trade, crafts and art; there were synagogues, schools and cultural centers in the city. It was here that David Horowitz absorbed a love for Jewish traditions and developed an interest in the ideas of Zionism.

Impact of the events of the First World War

David's childhood was spent in conditions of instability. The outbreak of World War I forced the Horowitz family to leave Drohobych and move to Vienna. This forced move became the first…
