CER Visit to Ukraine
by Yated Ne'eman Staff

In a recent visit to the Ukraine, Councilor Aba Dunner, the Secretary General of the Conference of European Rabbis, visited a number of institutions in order to establish the needs of the local community and ways in which they could be assisted by Diaspora Jewry.

The tour included a visit to children's homes run by Chief Rabbi Yaakov Bleich. This complex includes a kindergarten, a boys' school, a girls' school and a Yeshiva housed in various buildings on the outskirts of Kiev. The programs of the Jewish Confederation of Ukraine, which are under the auspices of Chief Rabbi Bleich, include synagogues, the provision of kashrus facilities, a residential children's home and assistance for the elderly in the Harry & Jeannette Weinberg Kiev Home for Assisted Living.

During his visit, Councilor Dunner also went to Babi Yar, the site where tens of thousands of Jews were slaughtered during the Holocaust. He also met with the Dutch Ambassador, with whom he discussed European funding for projects in the Ukraine.
