In 1941 over 33,000 Ukrainian Jews were murdered in a 2 day span in the Babi Yar ravine marking one of the deadliest massacrers of the Holocaust. For 🇺🇦 to have a Jewish President descended from a Holocaust survivor standing up to a dictator is really empowering.

I have attended synagogues on five continents. I have had to send in copies of my passport, go through metal detectors, submit to questioning, enter fortress-like compounds and walk past armored personnel carriers and soldiers with automatic rifles. This is Jewish life in 2022.
