Some 100 Ukrainian children who were brought to Israel from the bombed-out city of Zhytomyr in recent weeks are making packages for the Jewish holiday of Purim to deliver to other children still in refugee camps on Ukraine’s border.
The children, who were residents of the Alumim Center, the children’s home of Chabad Zhytomyr, are now staying at a Jewish National Fund field school.
The children are preparing blessings and holiday cards in Ukrainian and packed candies in parcels.
“It’s good for me to be here where there are no frightening noises of boom, but I miss my father and my friends who stayed in Zhytomyr very much,” says 7-year-old Senijna, according to a press release from the children’s home.
