Several months after the outbreak of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, a special conference took place in New York regarding the welfare of Jews in Ukraine at which a decision was made for Rabbanim and Chabad shlichim to gradually return to their communities despite the ongoing war.
The meeting was hosted by HaRav Moshe Kotlarsky, director of the International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries and Vice-Chairman of Merkos L’lnyonei Chinuch, and attended by businessman and philanthropist George Rohr, a major donor for kehillos and mosdos in Ukraine for the past 32 years, and prominent Ukraine Rabbanim including the Rav of Dneiper, Rav Shmuel Kamintesky, Rav of Odesasa, Rav Avraham Wolf, Rav of Kharkiv, Rav Moshe Moskowitz, Rav of western Ukraine, Rav Shlomo Wilhem of Zhytomyr, and others.
There are currently about 155 Rabbanim and Chabad shlichim serving in about 30 different communities in Ukrainian cities. Some of the communities suffered severe damage since the war began, especially the devastated city of Mariupol. Other cities still have many Jews living there, including men of enlistment age who were banned from leaving Ukraine and the elderly and handicapped.
Some of the Rabbanim, such as Rav Shmuel Kaminetsky, stayed in Ukraine throughout the war and other Rabbanim left Ukraine and led their communities from afar. The gradual return of the Rabbanim will enable them to preserve the remaining communities and redevelop community institutions.

Clashes between rival factions of the Ger Hasidic sect spread across the country over the weekend, exposing a growing and increasingly violent rift in Israel’s largest and most powerful ultra-Orthodox dynasty.
Street fighting erupted Friday in three separate places – the southern city of Ashdod, the predominantly Haredi city of Bnei Brak and Jerusalem. Tensions spiked after followers of Rabbi Shaul Alter – the former dean of the movement’s flagship yeshiva in Jerusalem – reportedly hurled insults at Grand Rebbe Yaakov Alter, the movement’s leader and Shaul Alter’s cousin, as the grand rabbi was visiting his mother-in-law’s grave in north Tel Aviv the previous evening.
The fighting, which continued through Saturday evening, comes after years of acrimony between the cousins, who both descend from previous grand rabbis and have competing power bases within the movement.
While Shaul Alter’s followers have not officially set themselves up as a new movement, they have largely been independent since 2019 when a small group of dissatisfied Ger Hasidim declared him their leader, joining him at his Simhat Torah services in defiance of their nominal rebbe.
David Reichman, of Manhattan, collapsed on the boardwalk after finishing the 13-mile race at Ocean Parkway at Brighton Beach on Saturday amid sweltering heat. He was pronounced dead at Coney Island Hospital.
Reichman (inset) was a founder of Field Trip Health, a mental health and psychotherapy company in Kips Bay, according to his LinkedIn profile.
“I approach psychotherapy with seriousness and humor,” Reichman wrote on his profile on Psychology Today. “I’ll listen, offer direction, and challenge you to be the best version of yourself.”
A graduate of Concordia University, according to his LinkedIn, Reichman later attended the NYU Silver School of Social Work.
He worked for two years as a substance use specialist for NYC Health + Hospitals, before launching Field Trip Health in October 2020, the profile states.
The company says that it is “redefining mental health and well-being through ground-breaking work in psychedelics and psychedelic-enhanced psychotherapy,” according to the firm’s LinkedIn page.
“For those who this may be appropriate, I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy,” Reichman added on his Psychology Today profile.
The therapist lived in Flatbush with his girlfriend until moving to Manhattan in March, the super at his Brooklyn building, who would only identify himself as Ozzie, told The Post on Sunday.
Reichman’s death at Saturday’s 22,000-runner race has raised questions about why the event was allowed to take place on an unseasonably hot and humid day.
