URGENT: OUR SYNAGOGUE WAS STRUCK BY A RUSSIAN DRONE!
Last night, a Russian drone strike severely damaged the Great Choral Synagogue in Odessa. The blasts shattered windows, damaged the ark, and set some of TiKVA offices on fire, destroying food packages prepared for vulnerable families.
The Synagogue has served as central hub for religious life and where thousands of Ukrainian Jewish community members receive meals, education, and care.
Having survived pogroms, war, and decades of communist repression, the Synagogue is an integral part of Odessa’s Jewish life.
At TiKVA, we are already responding.
We will:
• Rebuild what was damaged
• Replace the food and supplies that were destroyed
• Continue caring for the thousands of children, families, and elderly who rely on us every day
We will not let Jewish life in Odessa disappear. But we cannot do this alone.
Emergency efforts are already underway to resume operations, and we are working to restore services and replace lost supplies as quickly as possible.
Please donate to help us rebuild, restock, and continue. Link in bio.
