Last year, the Janusz Korczak Child Care Fund of Beit Polska and Friends of Jewish Renewal in Poland helped supply winter boots to 600 Ukrainian refugee children in Poland. We work with Spynka, a joint Polish-Ukrainian effort to address the needs of children and their mothers displaced by the war in Ukraine. This year we are providing mittens and gloves to the families. Please consider a donation for this fund. You may specifically designate your donation to this cause by clicking here.

Consider inviting Jonathan Mills, one of the founders of Spynka, to speak in person at your congregation or on Zoom. Contact Rabbi Haim Beliak at rabbibeliak@jewishrenewalinpoland.org. The intensity of the war continues and the attention of many is diverted to other worthy causes.

Members of the Friends of Jewish Renewal in Poland community visited one of the Spynka sites in Poland. It was inspiring to see this ongoing work.
