Dear friends!
We are on the threshold of the most joyful Jewish holiday. Have you ever asked yourself - why are we so happy on Purim? The superficial answer is obvious - we rejoice in salvation from Haman’s insidious plans. But if you think - is this the emotion that occurs when you hear about the cancellation of the sentence? Relief, gratitude to God - yes, but the fun is absolutely inappropriate here!
The Purim events marked one important understanding. And before it the Jews, not having their own country by that moment, were subjected to all sorts of persecutions and oppressions. But the question of the total destruction of all the people had never raised before. And such a probability was realized.
Then we felt fear. And the reaction to it was not quite normal. Our weapon against fear is the most effective - joy. We will not let them to intimidate us. Neither then nor later, during the Holocaust, nor in the future. Every day we are faced with violence, threats, terror, but do not cease to be Jews. Fun and a sense of humor always conquer fear and hate. What you laugh at has no power over you.
And we often hear a comic description of the history of the Jewish people, which consists of 3
stages:
1. They wanted to destroy us.
2. They did not succeed.
3. Let's eat on this occasion.
Therefore, friends, on this festive day, I advise you to pay attention to the third point. And, of course, in addition, to fulfill one of the commandments of the holiday: make such a lekhaim so that the words “Cursed Haman” cannot be distinguished from the words “Blessed Mordechai”. I wish joy to accompany you not only on Purim, but also on the remaining 364 days of the year.
Chag Purim Sameach!
The United Jewish community of Ukraine on the eve of Passover organized the distribution of matzah to Jewish families.
In 2019, the number of matzah sent to the Jewish communities of Ukraine is 21 tons. It covers the real need of matzah in most Jewish communities of Ukraine.
This distribution of matzah is the largest in the country this year. In 2018, the organization also arranged a similar event - then 17 tons of matzah and 13,000 boxes of shmurah matzah (hand-made matzah) were distributed jointly with the VAAD of Ukraine.
Traditional treats were packed in holiday boxes and sent to the Jewish communities of Ukraine. Matzah was distributed among the organizations which are the part of the UJCU. This means that almost all Jews of Ukraine, members of communities, will receive matzah to Passover.
“The UJCU continues the tradition and delights all members of our community. In 2019, we send 21,000 kg of matzah to all regions of the country. Almost every real Jewish community of Ukraine received matzah with free delivery to the city.
The United Jewish Community of Ukraine makes every effort to help the Jews to feel their spiritual unity, to remember and observe Jewish traditions.
I am infinitely happy that with the help of highly respected sponsors, we provided the entire Jewish community of Ukraine with a festive matzah in a unique package designed in the UJCU corporate style”, - commented on Michael Tkach, CEO of the organization.
Dear friends!
I cordially congratulate you on the wonderful spring holiday of Pesach!
The name of the holiday comes from the word "pasch", which means passed by. Before the execution of the firstborn of Egypt, God ordered the Jews to slaughter the lambs in a festive sacrifice, and mark the door-posts of their houses with their blood. On the night of Nisan 15, during the execution, God “passed by” the houses of the Jews, and none of the Jewish first-born were injured.
The Jews left Egypt so quickly that the dough, which they fermented, did not have time to rise - this is how the matzoh appeared, which today is the main symbol of Pesach. According to the Divine Order, in memory of Exodus, we eat matzo for 7 days.
The day of the Exodus is the birthday of the Jewish people. The Torah orders us in all generations to look at ourselves as if it were we who left Egypt, from restrictions and slavery to free life on our own land.
On these holidays, I wish you all great happiness, health, joy, love, and, above all, peace in our homes and in our land. May this holiday be bright, joyful and spring-like warm!
