As Jewish communities around the world mobilize in support of the nearly 200,000 Jews who call Ukraine home, we examine the Jewish communal impact and the complex Israeli perspective of this tragic war. Don’t miss these episodes of the Identity/Crisis podcast and For Heaven’s Sake podcast (links below) on the crisis in Ukraine from the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America.

Identity/Crisis Podcast: Ukraine’s Jews in the Middle of War
On the Identity/Crisis podcast, Roman Shmulenson, Exec Director of the Council of Jewish Émigré Community Organization, and Nancy Kaufman, consultant and former CEO of NCJW, join Yehuda Kurtzer to discuss Ukrainian nationalism and antisemitism, and ways we can support Russian-speaking Jews in times of peace and in times of crisis.
“Out of this absolute tragedy comes an opportunity to be a global Jewish community — to be connected, to be caring, and to be sensitive to all the nuances and complexities of the situation.”
Roman Shmulenson

Crisis in Ukraine: The Israeli Response
In a special episode of the For Heaven’s Sake podcast, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi discuss the Israeli government’s response to the Russian invasion, the fact that a proud Jew is leading one of the most heroic struggles in recent history, and the implications of this crisis on a possible Israeli attack on Iran.
“The great hero of Ukraine today is a Jew, a self-identifying Jew who speaks constantly about the family members he lost in the Holocaust.”
Yossi Klein Halevi
