The State of Israel and Jewish organizations from around the world have sent support to the Jewish community in the Crimea. “Israeli representatives in the Ukraine are offering anyone eligible to immigrate to Israel to do so in a quickened process. Our community has received funds to install a new security system and to hire armed security personnel. We now have guards. The parliament is making an effort to maintain public order. Volunteers patrol the city,” Ganadin told Tazpit.
Which way will the Crimea go and how will its Jews be affected? Ganadin believes that the Crimea is de-facto Russian, and will officially be so in a week’s time. All that is left is to hope the Jews of the Crimea will fare well during the impending storm.
