The First Ukrainian Guide to Rosh Hashanah

In preparation for their first Rosh Hashanah during war, the Project Kesher Ukraine team, recognizing the importance of sharing traditions among its Ukrainian-speaking network, created the first ever Ukrainian language Rosh Hashanah guide, including beautiful imagery illustrating how to prepare for and celebrate the holiday. The guide covered the history of the holiday, specific traditions, blessings, and sounding the Shofar. Though there are many adapted and translated Jewish resources in Russian, this year Ukrainians no longer want to practice their Judaism in Russia, leaving a great need to translate Jewish sources and materials into Ukrainian at this time.
