Dear Community Member,

As we continue to monitor the devastating situation in Ukraine, we cannot help but be moved to action. With too many lives already lost and thousands of our Jewish brothers and sisters impacted, we continue to pray for the safety and well-being of the people of Ukraine.

The SCA has put together a list of organizations who have been doing tremendous work in helping to provide relief and much needed assistance to those in Ukraine. We know that there are dozens more but this is just a brief list of organizations that have taken on this initiative and provide us with different ways to be able to help:

• Sephardic Heritage Museum – Ukraine Emergency Fund 

• UJA-Federation of New York

• United Hatzalah of Israel

• KJ Benevolent Fund (Under “Payment Details”, for “type”, select “Ukraine Crisis Fund” in the pull-down menu)

• American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC)

• Tikva Orphanage in Odessa, Ukraine

• Federation of Jewish Communities of Ukraine

And of course, we must pray for Hashem to protect us. See below for links to Tehillim chapters to read, courtesy of the Sephardic Pizmonim Project:

May Hashem continue to watch over us.
