A Jewish family who live in Kramatorsk, Ukraine, were miraculously evacuated in the nick of time today, as the violence in their hometown escalates.
Rabbi Mendy Cohen, the Shliach in Mariupol, Ukraine, related that he was contacted by the family asking for help to evacuate, as it became too dangerous to remain, with violence increasing in their area.
The parents of 9 children originally did not want to leave Ukraine, however, after speaking with Rabbi Cohen, who begged them to leave for their safety, they finally agreed on Sunday.
The family headed out to Dnepr in their car, Rabbi Cohen, who has already escaped with his family and is currently in Israel, said. From Dnepr, they plan to cross the border and then fly to Israel.
“An hour after they left, they sent me a photo of their home, which has been completely destroyed by a bomb,” Rabbi Cohen said. “It is a clear miracle from G-d that they escaped just in time.”
Rabbi Cohen is very grateful for the donors to the RaiseThon campaign which has been raising funds to assist the Jewish communities to escape the current violence.
Truly a revealed miracle! May Hashem continue to protect them always.
Amazing work Rabbi Mendy Cohen and Rabbi Menachem Wolff!!!
