"Thank you for helping to lift the fear."

During a recent zoom meeting, Ella Goncharova , Action-PSJ's Program Director in Ukraine, explained that a recent attack from Russia came from the air, land, ocean, and with drones. These hit simultaneously, creating a stressful living situation. Without lights or water, there was no heat, no ability to wash or cook.

The items we are sending-- the blankets, heated vests, USB lamps, flashlights, power banks, thermoses, and food packages not only provide required aid-they provide a safety net. Ella says they give a mental lift. The elders we care for in Ukraine understand they are not forgotten. They are not alone in this war. They have partners supporting and caring for them in this fight for freedom.

Thank you for your ongoing support. .

We need your continued partnership as we work to prepare for Passover and as this war continues on. Let's make sure no one feels forgotten. Let's make sure everyone feels their fear lifted as we continue to send hope.

Yes! I support Action-PSJ

Michal Vinik (Writer/Director)
Massachusetts Premiere
Christina, a Ukrainian mail-order bride in a seemingly happy marriage, is overjoyed when her husband, an Israeli marriage broker, arranges a match for his wife’s beloved sister, Valeria. But Valeria is apprehensive at the prospect of spending the rest of her life with someone she’s met only twice over video. Her apprehension grows after meeting her overly eager betrothed, and she realizes he’s not the man she’d hoped to find. Unfolding over the course of a day, Valeria Is Getting Married tests the contours of identity, obligation, and the expectations we inevitably attach to love.
Log line: Following her sister Christina’s example, Valeria arrives in Israel from Ukraine to meet the man she is to marry through an arrangement brokered online. But unlike Christina, Valeria has her doubts.
