Guideline
For the first time in the recent history of Jewish communities in the CIS, a new type of community was created in Dnepropetrovsk, which became on the same level of development as the most famous Jewish communities of developed countries.
A miracle worthy of a city like ours, the largest research and industrial center, a multinational metropolis, the city of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, has taken place. The Board of Trustees of the community has been formed and is actively working, in the composition of which people united by a common desire to make the world a better place. With their work and their heart they gave a powerful impetus to the realization of numerous humanitarian projects. May the Almighty bless them and send them good luck in all the works of their hands.
