(Jewish Group) Here's how to help Ukraine's Jewish community

For those looking for ways to help Ukrainian Jews, the Forward has compiled a list of organizations that are assisting them or collecting money for nonprofits on the ground.

A country of 44 million people led by a Jewish president, Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s rich Jewish history dates back many centuries — Odessa was once the center of Jewish life in the Southern Russian empire — and has produced countless influential world figures, among them Golda Meir, Sholem Aleichem, and Haim Nahman Bialik.

Today, hundreds of thousands of Jews live in Ukraine, mostly in four major cities — Odessa, Kharkiv, Kyiv and Dnipro. Suddenly imperiled by the Russian invasion, many are fleeing for the country’s borders. Others are sheltering in basements or looking for other refuge.

HIAS
HIAS, formerly the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, is an American Jewish nonprofit that assists refugees around the world.

Remember, HIAS was the "reason" a neo-Nazi shit head shot up a synagogue in Pittsburgh.
