According to the estimates of Hebrew demographer Sergio DellaPergola’s “World Jewish Population, 2016,” Ukraine is home to between 56,000 and 140,000 Jews, making it the fourth largest Jewish community in Europe and the eleventh largest in the world. Ukrainian Jews are prevalent throughout Ukrainian society, including high offices of the state. Despite emigration and a somewhat aging community, a number of Jewish organizations throughout the country are striving to revive Jewish life and culture and alleviate the poverty of the many destitute Jews in the country. The Ukrainian affiliates of the World Jewish Congress arethe Єврейська Конфедерація України (Jewish Confederation of Ukraine), and Ваад (Ассоциация еврейских организаций и общин) Украины (VAAD – Asssociation of Jewish Organizations & Communities of Ukraine).
