The Jewish community of Ukraine continues to help the Armed Forces: Capelane, volunteers and medical care

Since the outbreak of the full-scale war in Ukraine, the Jewish community has continued to provide vital assistance not only to the civilian population, but also to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). It is noteworthy that not only material but also moral support plays a vital role in maintaining the spirit and strength of the Ukrainian defenders.

In recent weeks, several striking examples show how the Jewish community actively supports the Ukrainian troops on the front lines. This is not only humanitarian aid, but also medical equipment, drones, and moral support through meetings with chaplains.

Yakov Sinyakov’s visit: chaplain and support for the AFU

On February 7, 2025, the chaplain of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine, Yakov Sinyakov, visited the Ukrainian military in the combat zone. He not only handed over humanitarian aid, but also held meetings with the servicemen, providing them with the necessary moral support.

What was donated:

• Drones — to support operations and reconnaissance at the front.
• Laptop — to ensure communication and coordination of actions on the battlefield.
• Tegilim books — an important element of spiritual support for soldiers.

“This aid is extremely important for our soldiers. It is important that the Jewish community of Ukraine supports us in this difficult moment, providing not only material but also spiritual assistance,” noted one of the servicemen.

Medical aid from the Jewish community

In addition to aiding the military, the Jewish community of Ukraine is actively involved in the supply of medical supplies and equipment for the needs of the front.

On February 7, 2025, Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman donated important medical supplies to the Volunteer Hundred, which has been helping and saving the lives of Ukrainian defenders and civilians since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

Hundreds of volunteers, working in the most dangerous conditions, risk their lives to save those who defend Ukraine.

What was donated:

• Dressings
• Medical instruments
• Equipment kits to support work on the front lines

Moshe Azman thanked the volunteers and sponsors for their invaluable help and dedication during this difficult time.

Support at the regional level: Shostka and assistance to doctors

An important contribution was the transfer of medical equipment to the city of Shostka (Sumy region), where the Jewish community, headed by Sergei Katsman, donated 140 medical gowns, 100 surgical gowns and 700 disposable masks to the central district hospital of the city. This assistance has become a significant contribution to supporting local medical workers who work in combat conditions.
