This year, we continue to partner with TiKVA Children’s Home, an organization dedicated to rescuing, educating and providing essential needs to at-risk Jewish children while supporting impoverished families in the war zone of Odessa, Ukraine. Since Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, TiKVA’s mission has expanded to three countries, including two war zones- Ukraine and Israel. TiKVA is a lifeline for 1,066 Jewish refugee orphans at a refugee site in Bucharest, Romania, while we continue to support nearly 1,100 of TiKVA alum in Israel, 259 of who are currently serving in the IDF. The core of our mission remains- to continue rebuilding a Jewish identity and provide a brighter future for those impacted by decades of persecution and hardship.
