The mission of UJCEAA is to work in the spirit of community building to restore, rebuild and enhance Jewish life in Eastern Europe. With a focus on children and young adults, we strive to connect Jewish soles to their heritage through both formal and informal education. We are committed to supporting the most vulnerable amongst us, primarily the elderly and children living in poverty. We envision a future where one generation can provide for the next in a community guided by the values and spirit of Judaism.
The rebuilding of the Kiev Jewish community began in 1989 through the vision of Rabbi Bleich
We are striving to ensure a self-sufficient and vibrant community in Kiev with indigenous leadership who can provide for ongoing needs and care for the more vulnerable. We aspire to increase connections with unaffiliated Jews and meet the needs of those who are currently served by existing institutions. We envision an efficient and dynamic community which is well represented in the public sector and can combat anti-semitism and sustain government support wherever possible.
