Ukraine is one of the few places where Jewish history hasn’t ended — it’s still unfolding today.
In the streets of Kyiv and Odesa, in the schools of Lviv, in the synagogues of Dnipro, Uzhhorod, and Chernivtsi — Jewish life continues. It breathes, speaks, celebrates, and gives.

The “Diaspora” section on NAnews gathers the voices of those who keep this life visible: rabbis, teachers, musicians, volunteers, young families, and elders.
It tells stories of children learning Hebrew, of Jewish music festivals, of women’s initiatives and community projects, and of schools that stayed open even during wartime.

This is more than a chronicle — it’s a portrait of identity surviving change.
It’s about Shabbat celebrated in basements, aid collected through Telegram channels, and prayers connecting entire cities through a screen.

NAnews – Nikk.Agency Israel News shows that the Jewish diaspora in Ukraine is not a memory — it’s a heartbeat of the present.
It’s about people holding onto tradition, building bridges to Israel, and believing that the light of Hanukkah will always outshine the dark.

And maybe that’s where its strength lies — in the quiet joy of persistence;
in the smile of an old woman who still remembers a Yiddish song;
in the children lighting Hanukkah candles for the first time, realizing — this is their home, and it’s alive.
