“Ukrainian Health Banks in Israel“is a unique initiative that unites Ukrainians living in Israel. The project began four years ago and since then has become a platform for communication, exchange of experiences and preservation of Ukrainian culture outside of its native country.
In November 2024, Zdibanki celebrated its fourth birthday by organizing a meeting dedicated to two important events at once: the celebration of the Day of Defenders and Defenders of Ukraine and the anniversary of the project itself.
“We love you and thank you for 4 years. Three more cups and more to come,” – this is how the Zdibanok team addressed its subscribers and participants.
Celebrating the Day of Defenders of Ukraine in Israel
One of the key topics of the last meeting was the support of Ukrainian defenders located both at home and abroad. The participants expressed gratitude to the military, who defend the freedom and independence of Ukraine every day.
