About this talk
We invite you to visit the heart and the key cities of Ukraine, Kiev and Odesa, and to explore their Jewish Heritage.
Jews have been living in Kiev since the 8th century. Over the years, Kiev was home to Jewish scholars and Rabbis, writers and Zionists, business, cultural and political leaders. Kiev Jewish community has experienced times of amazing prosperity but also of tragic devastation.
Odesa: Most Russian-speaking Jews will name it the Jewish capital of the former USSR. Jewish Odessa is characterized by its unique sense of humor, Jewish quarters with unusual architecture, Jewish criminal world, the most active Zionist movement, and of course, the story of ships transporting Jews to the land of Israel in the early 1920s.
