(Jewish Group) A Jewish-Ukrainian rally for peace in Brookline
BROOKLINE — Center Makor was draped in blue and yellow as hundreds gathered at the Jewish cultural center Sunday to celebrate Ukrainian culture and call for peace as Russia’s invasion continues to batter the country and its people.
Sunday’s events, organizers said, were a demonstration of solidarity between two groups that have been historically intertwined. Ukraine has long been home to a significant population of Jewish people.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, who is Jewish, has appealed to the Jewish community worldwide for support since Russia invaded Ukraine more than six weeks ago.
The “Day of Unity” at Center Makor on Sunday included cultural activities, food, and culminated in a late-afternoon rally that drew close to 100 people in a show of support for Ukraine.
