About Us
Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman dedicates his life to the development of the Jewish community throughout Ukraine, reviving traditions and supporting every Jew, regardless of where they live. His activities include spiritual guidance, teaching Torah, and conducting religious ceremonies and holidays in all regions of the country. Rabbi Azman regularly visits small communities, ensuring their connection to Jewish life. He is the initiator of numerous all-Ukrainian charitable, educational, and cultural projects. The Rabbi represents the interests of the Jewish community in dialogue with the state authorities and international organizations, promoting interfaith harmony and combating anti-Semitism. His wisdom, openness, and dedication to service make him a true spiritual leader for thousands of Jews across Ukraine.
Our strength is in unity, our wisdom is in traditions, and our heart is in good deeds
Main areas of activity:
Mitzvah for Ukraine was born in the darkest days of war, when thousands of families lost their homes, their safety, and their loved ones. In response, we came together — as volunteers, as community members, as people who care — to bring light where there was only fear.
Mitzvah for Ukraine is a charitable organization and a large-scale humanitarian initiative from the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine.
Transfers go straight to hunger, medical needs and evacuations.
The leadership of Rabbi Azman, who since 1995 has lined up relief projects ranging from children's education programs to refugee rescue.
Assistance not only to Jews — all those in need in Ukraine.
