The April issue of the Shabbat Shalom newspaper (the 387th issue in total) was published in a shortened eight-page format.
The first page of the publication is entirely devoted to the article “Purim 5785”, which tells how the Jewish community of Dnipro celebrated this holiday.
The second page contains greetings on the occasion of the anniversary of the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro, Shmuel Kaminezki, an overview of his video messages to the weekly Torah portions, and a short note about the visit of the German Ambassador to the Jewish community.
The third page contains materials about the Purim celebration at the Hesed Menachem Charitable Foundation and the traditional annual performance of the mahon, Beit Hayah Mushka.
The fourth page contains a selection of short notes on Purim: festive events for children attending the Solomonika JCC programs, participating in the Jewish Big Brother/Big Sister project, the Tikkun Olam project, and the Beit Chabad Le Israeli program. A separate article, “Bikur Holim – Effective Care,” is dedicated to the community’s gratitude for supporting those in need.
The fifth page is devoted to an article by Valentyn Khoroshun, who reviewed Oleksandr Fridkis’s interview for the Alef TV program and combined his memories into a single newspaper text.
Page six contains an article by Oleksandr Bystriakov, “Two – Osyp and Nadiya,” dedicated to the Mandelstam family, and an article by Ihor Manevych, “The Ashes of Auschwitz.”
Page seven contains two articles by Mykola Bulanyi: “Besht and Dovbush: The Meeting of the Robber and the Righteous” and ‘Is it possible to change the Easter Haggadah?’ as well as small notes about the Purim celebration at the Shahar teen club and a regular class at the Madrich School.
The eighth page traditionally includes greetings, announcements, two obituaries, and instead of the Humor section, this time the paper published “Bernard Shaw’s Rules of Life.”
