Please join us for a virtual gathering -Spiritually Together While Physically Apart. on Sunday, April 2nd, at 10:00 am ET.
As we approached Passover, the Action-PSJ's Community coordinators in Ukraine wondered if there was a way they could celebrate together even though they were in different cities.
We decided to try a virtual gathering so everyone could be spiritually together. We will light candles and taste matzah and wine, and our colleagues in Ukraine will reflect on freedom, exodus, redemption, and action.
You are invited to join in and provide spiritual support. You can participate in this program in English and Russian. We will present some of the prayers in Ukrainian. With ongoing power outages in Ukraine, we were unsure we could host this; however, the desire to be together is so strong we will try.
You are invited to a Zoom meeting and Action PSJ's virtual gathering Spiritually together while physically apart -a celebration of Passover.
We will hold sacred virtual space with the greater Action-PSJ community and friends. Rabbi Jim Morgan will lead us in prayer in song. Action-PSJ's colleagues in Ukraine will reflect on the themes of freedom and deliverance as part of the four cups of wine. Debbie Kardon and Элла Гончарова of Action-PSJ in Boston and Dnipro will together light the Yom Tov (holiday) candles.
Шановні друзі! Запрошуємо вас 2 квітня о 17.00 на віртуальну зустріч, яку організовує Action PSJ на платформі Zoom: "Роз'єднані фізично, але єдині духовно", присвячену святкуванню Песаху.
Разом з широкою спільнотою та друзями "Action-PSJ" ми створимо спільний священний віртуальний простір.

Українські колеги з Action-PSJ розмірковуватимуть над темами свободи та визволення в контексті чотирьох келихів вина.

The Passover themes of finding freedom and establishing a home have incredible relevance to what our Ukraninan brothers and sisters are enduring today. That is why Action for Post-Soviet Jewry has created a unique supplement you can include in your Seder. In it, you'll find readings, prayers, and simple suggestions to keep us mindful of the plight of Ukraine. The supplement is free, and donations to support our humanitarian services in Ukraine are appreciated. Click the picture below to download the supplement.
Action for Post-Soviet Jewry has provided humanitarian aid and support for needy Jewish elders and people with disabilities throughout the war.
Our incredibly resourceful network of local Action Community Coordinators and partner organizations know who those in need are, what they need (blankets, clothing, medications, and matzah, too), and how we can get it to them while war rages on.
Our unique, grassroots, neighbor-to-neighbor approach, both here and in Ukraine, ensures your local support has a global impact.
