community and established a very active school, as well as other education and social programs. Beginning in May 2000, town officials joined with the Jewish community to erect and dedicate, several new Holocaust memorials on the sites of brutal massacres and mass burials of Jews on the edge of town (figures 2, 3). The Jewish community in Ukraine is made up of many different religious and cultural groups. The leading organizations for Jewish culture are the Associations of Jewish Organizations and Communities of Ukraine and the Jewish Council of Ukraine. Together with Union of Jewish Religious Organizations of Ukraine and the Kyiv Municipal Jewish Community these four organizations founded, in 1998, the Jewish Confederation of Ukraine, to be an umbrella organization for promoting of all aspects of Jewish life in Ukraine. Nevertheless, there are splits and disagreements within the Ukrainian Jewish community involving personality, financial and power conflicts. But the community as a whole continues to grow in all areas – religious life, social programming, and cultural affairs. Leading international Jewish organizations have also established branches in Ukraine. Appendix VI includes the names, addresses, and general areas of activities of many of the most active organizations and institutions. According to the World Jewish Congress (2004), there are 75 Jewish schools in the country in some 45 cities, among them 10 day schools and 65 Sunday schools (other sources may give different numbers, but mostly in the same general range). The International Solomon University, founded in 1993 offers Judaic studies at its branches in Kyiv and Kharkiv, enrolling about 150 students. Courses in Hebrew are also offered in many other places, and there are many outlets for those who wish to express their artistic creativity. Much of the Israel-oriented activity is directed by the Jewish Agency for Immigration. Several Jewish newspapers and journals are published, including the Kyiv-based Hadashot, there is also a weekly TV program called “Yahad” on state television. Several laws and decrees passed over the last ten years have affected the fate of Jewish communal properties. Among these, the most important are: a 1991 law concerning the return of communal property; a 1994 agreement with the United States on the protection and preservation of certain cultural properties; a 1998 decree concerning the inviolability of places of burial of human remains, preventing privatization and development of cemetery sites; and a 2003 law on burial places. 19
