Symbols of the Ukrainian shtetl
Shtetls, small Jewish towns, were an integral part of the history of Ukrainian Jews. These settlements represented a unique cultural phenomenon, where Ukrainian and Jewish traditions were closely intertwined. The organizers decided to recreate the atmosphere of the shtetl to remind guests of the importance of preserving memory and mutual understanding between peoples.
“We create a space where culture unites rather than divides. A Hanukkah party is an opportunity to feel that Ukrainians and Jews are truly “together”, even far from home.”,” say the organizers.
