Our guest today is a Rabbi raised in Kharkiv, Ukraine from the age of 6 months, it’s pretty much all he’s known. Rabbi Mendel Moskovitz moved there as a baby with his parents, Moishe and Miriam as his family served as Chabad emissaries to rebuild Jewish life in Kharkiv, following the fall of Communism.   Graduating as a rabbi in Sydney, Australia, Rabbi Moskovitz returned home with his wife, Chani. There he raised three children, and served as a Rabbi to Ukrainian youth for 7 years, until war changed everything.    Now he is ambassador to The Jewish Relief Network Ukraine. I’m making this appeal on behalf of the vital work of this charity completely voluntarily, without fee or personal gain. He highlights acute Jewish suffering to the world and raising funds for the incredible work being done by Chabad to provide vital humanitarian relief.  JRNU is the umbrella organization for operations in Ukraine, providing food, medicine and medical care, housing and even security.  Donate now at www.JRNU.org Through 48 regional coordinators and staff on the ground in 35 cities, JRNU is serving people too frail to flee, those who are otherwise unable to flee, and those who refuse to leave behind a husband, child, father or other loved one.
