Welcome the Voices of Ukrainian Refugees to Your Seder Table

As we share the powerful story of exodus and freedom during Pesach, our thoughts remain with the thousands of Ukrainian Jews fleeing the violent Russian invasion. Federation overseas partner the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) is distributing two Passover supplements that bring the voices of Ukraine’s Jews to your Seder table. The first is a special reading acknowledging Ukraine’s Jews and our responsibility for each other, while the second includes the personal stories of JDC clients and volunteers.
