Ukraine Inspires Hesed: A Day of Mitzvah

News

In Jewish tradition, Hesed – or loving-kindness - lies at the heart of our communal life. In the spirit of Random Acts of Kindness Day, we’re celebrating our recent Mitzvah Day which was a remarkable display of Hesed. With passion and purpose, 46 members of our STEP Ukraine team, who work as employment advisors to help Ukrainians find work, learn English and integrate into life in the UK, dedicated a day to giving back to the community in other ways.

Israel, the hostages, and a ceasefire

News

For 15 months, the hostages and their families have continually been in our thoughts. For 15 months, they have suffered unimaginable trauma. The release of three hostages yesterday, including one British-Israeli, was an emotional first step, but we anxiously await the return of the remaining 30 people set to be released during phase one of the ceasefire. At the same time, we mourn deeply all those who have lost their lives, and we hope and pray for the safe return of the hostages that remain in Gaza. The last 471 days have caused immense suffering for Israelis and Palestinians, and we hope that this ceasefire will allow for peace and security in the region, the return of all remaining hostages, and essential humanitarian aid to continue at pace in Gaza.

New Year in Ukraine

Support for Older People, Support for Ukraine, Ukraine

New Year is a big deal in Ukraine. Normally, some of the light displays would rival those on Bond Street or New York’s 5th Avenue. And you can tell the country is doing its best to maintain as much of that normality as possible – winter lights are set up and people are trying to keep the festive spirits as high as possible. In the centre of busy Kyiv, you could pretend it’s all fine. But this well-intended façade hides the reality. Read our teams reflections from a recent visit to Ukraine.
