New Shluchim to Kharkiv, Ukraine

Rabbi Sholom Ber and Chavi Moskovitz and their newborn son Menachem Mendel are joining the shluchim in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

While Kharkiv has been under attack since the first day of the war, the Jewish community-young and old in the city are turning to the Jewish community more than ever before. Whether it is for a food package or a shiur, a Chanukah program or a shabbaton, a kindergarten in the shule basement or a camp for their children – the community has been the lifeline for the thousands of Jews in the city.

The new shluchim will be helping with youth programs, shiurim, teaching in the school and running the extensive humanitarian help programs.

Rabbi Sholom Ber Moskovitz is the son of the Chief Rabbi of Kharkiv, Moshe Moskovitz who was sent in 1990 by the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Sholom Ber was brought up in the city and since the war broke out has been active in helping those in need and visiting in homes throughout the city.

Now married and with their newborn son, the young Moskovitzs are eager to begin their shlichus in Kharkiv and to brighten up the lives of so many Jews.
