After watching her mother die peacefully under
hospice care, Rose Fenster, R.N., had a change of
heart and took a job doing hospice care.

Today, Rose puts her "whole heart and soul into
the job" as a nurse with St. John Hospice, a
medical partner of the Jewish Hospice &
Chaplaincy Network. She is also completing
courses in palliative care and working toward her
nurse practitioner license.

"I do this work because I love it," Rose says.
"This is what I am meant to do."

Kerch, Ukraine

ewish tombstones and
abandoned cemeteries, the
remains of once-vibrant
Jewish communities, are scattered
across Ukraine today.
Few communities have managed to
do what the Jews in this Crimean town
have done: assemble a collection of
these tombstones for a museum dedi-
cated to the community's history.
During the German occupation
of the Crimea in World War II, 7,000
Kerch Jews, or 99 percent of the prewar
Jewish population, was killed by the
Nazis. After the war, tombstones from
the now-unused Jewish cemetery were
used to pave roads and build fences,
said Boris Kapustin, the former head
of the town's Reform congregation and
leader of Kerch's Jewish community.
"We have extracted pieces of
matzevahs from the road in
Krupskaya Street and put them aside,"
Kapustin said, using the Hebrew word
for tombstones.
Today, the Kerch collection, believed
to be the only one of its kind in
Ukraine, is the centerpiece of the
Kerch Jewish Museum, which opened
a few years ago in the town's syna-
gogue.
Confiscated from Kerch Jews in
1939 by the Soviet regime, the historic
synagogue was returned to local Jews
in 2000 and opened after renovation
the following year.
