The smell of diesel and terror fill the smoky air as Ukranian citizens bunker out in shelters, surrounded by the deafening sound of bombs dropping from the sky. Russia launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine as of 5 A.M Israel time this morning and there have already been several tragic civilian casualties reported despite Russia’s claimed attempt to avoid civilian deaths. As of a few hours ago, the situation escalated when Ukraine’s airspace was closed and all flights were cancelled.

With war looming on the border, the Ukrainian Jewish community is preparing for impact. Concerns include safety, food, and other supplies necessary for survival.
Looting has already had an impact on the availability of kosher food, and without imports the religious community may be left without options.
General violence is also on the rise, in a region of the world already known for antisemitism. Leaders of the Jewish schools and synagogues say they need armed guards for protection, but such luxuries are beyond their capabilities. Security can cost roughly $1000 a day.

News of a father-of-five made waves this month after he was given a potential lifetime sentence in prison for a crime that he did not commit. Rabbonim have kept most details private in order to protect his family’s privacy during this difficult time, and publicly request that readers come forth and donate generously towards bail and lawyer fees to prevent this sentence from becoming a tragic reality.
The man’s horrified family is struggling to conjure the $150,000 needed for bail and are grateful to Rav Daniel Belsky who is advocating fiercely to raise the funds urgently needed for his release. According to Rav Belsky the man wasn’t in the best of health to begin with, and now that he is in prison, his life is now in danger.

Sitting shiva is always an uncomfortable experience. For the Shor family of Jerusalem, however, the level of discomfort is on another level:
Last week, a horrific fire ripped through their home, killing their 12-year old son, Eliyahu. Eliyahu’s parents watched on in horror, as firefighters yelled for the boy to jump from his window. He was too afraid to jump, and tragically passed away. They were rushed to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation. What came next, however, was a shock that had not even occurred to them while they were processing the death of their son: They had nowhere to sit shiva.
