The very day war broke out thousands began fleeing the country. Among them were Liudmila and her family. Once they crossed the border into Poland, they not only received emergency aid from our partners but also the support they needed to make Aliyah. Today, with continued support from Federation partners, Liudmila and her family are thankful to be building new lives in the Jewish homeland. As Liudmila says, “the climate in Israel is very warm, and so are the people.”
