A new episode of “The Glue” with Jewish Federations President and CEO Eric Fingerhut is now available online and reflects on a recent mission to Ukraine, where Federations became the largest Jewish organization to visit Kyiv.
During that trip, the group was granted a last-minute audience with Ukraine's (Jewish) president Volodymyr Zelensky. Fingerhut reflects on that meeting and the talks had with Ukrainians on the ground about how their community is powering through these uncertain and difficult days.
This episode features Eli Buzunov, the American Joint Distribution Committee's (JDC) Missions Coordinator in Ukraine, and Keith Shapiro, a Chicago-based Federation activist that has helped lead the charge on the issue.
