Dear all! I welcome you to read and share my in-depth research on the Jewish life in Ukraine: Achievements, challenges and priorities from the collapse of communism to 2013. This report reflects opinions and aspirations of dozens brilliant individuals who have personally influenced the shaping of contemporary Jewish life in Ukraine in all different spheres

- from education to religious life, from preservation of Jewish heritage to empowerment of new generations of Jewish leaders, from welfare to fundraising, from dealing with anti-Semitism to attitude to Israel. Read, enjoy, share: Jewish life in Ukraine at a glance! Available in English, Russian and Ukrainian.
MANY THANKS to all respondents, experts, advisors, editors, who were by my side and contributed to creation of this report! Special thanks and immense appreciation to JPR London team (particularly to Lena Stanley-Clamp and Judith Russel) for their thoughtful guidance throughout the entire process, to Dr. Betsy Gidwitz for her willingness to supervise the creation of this report and grant access to her earlier background researches, to Leonid Finberg who was one of the respondents and eventually assisted with editing of the Ukrainian version, and of course to Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe for the financial support of this project and particularly to Dana Bairamov Goldstein whose kind referral brought me to the epicenter of this exciting work, leading to hours on interviews with amazing personalities, debates during the focus groups, long days of transcribing, analizing, reviewing, editing, adding, amending, clarifying, translating, finalizing, formatting and fine-tuning! What a special feeling to see this work published! THANKS AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO EACH AND EVERY ONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!
