The Russian invasion of Ukraine has had a dire impact on the lives of millions of people. The repercussions have also created tension, distrust and isolation between nations and governments. In particular, Israel has been sanctioned by Russia for its stance on the invasion, impacting relations between the two countries and the non-government agencies acting in their borders.

Professor Aurel Braun joins Reb Steve via Facebook and YouTube to discuss the Ukraine-Russia situation and its effect on international initiatives, with particular focus on The Jewish Agency and their work in assisting Russian Jews in making aliyah.

This week's conversation will be broadcast live to the Beth Tzedec Facebook page and YouTube channel.
