`When we arrived on
Shabbos, we found
our shul in ruins.'

n June 2, a fire of unknown origin destroyed the Aish HaTorah
Center in Kiev, Ukraine.

Cherished pieces of Jewish life — Torah scrolls, a 1,000-volume library
and Judaica treasures — could not be saved.

Decimated by the Holocaust, suffering through decades of
anti-Semitism, economic and political upheaval — the Jewish
community of Kiev once again was sifting through ashes.

But within the ashes are seeds of hope. The center's 500 members have
vowed that their center of Jewish life will rise again.

Their brothers and sisters in Detroit have made a vow, as well.
For more than a century, our organized Jewish community has helped
our extended family throughout the world in times of trouble.

Please join in this effort on behalf of the Jewish
community of Kiev. Checks may be sent to:
