UCSJ Releases In-Depth Study on the State of Ukraine’s Jewish Community

UCSJ Releases In-Depth Study on the State of Ukraine’s Jewish Community

In the face of Russia’s ongoing full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s Jewish community continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience. Despite immense human, material, and institutional losses, Jewish organizations have adapted to new realities—shifting from cultural and educational programming to humanitarian relief, supporting not only Jews but the wider Ukrainian population. The war has accelerated emigration and strained the community’s already limited resources, threatening decades of progress. Yet, this moment of crisis has also transformed Ukrainian Jewry into a “community for others,” strengthening its moral standing and visibility in society. Sustaining Jewish identity and communal life will require renewed international partnership and investment in education, culture, and leadership development. As the report notes, rebuilding after the war will demand creativity, professionalism, and solidarity from both Ukrainian and global Jewish institutions.
