Since the start of the latest Russian invasion on February 24, the Camp Yeka network has dedicated itself entirely to locating its hundreds of participants, helping them evacuate if possible, sending money if not, and caring for them wherever they end up — Berlin, Vienna, Warsaw, or Israel • Full Story
Camp Yeka’s winter camp for boys, which has warmed the souls of over a hundred campers from across Ukraine, has come to close. Its staff consider this year’s winter program a smashing success. Located in the scenic Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Ukraine, twenty counselors from the US, Israel, Great Britain and Ukraine made it so that every boy felt warmth, joy and care at every moment, and the time spent in the camp was bright, eventful and very interesting for each of them • Full Story, Photos
In a few weeks, there will be a big celebration. Mendel (whose name is changed for privacy), a Chassidisher bochur no different to you or me, who as a child grew up in a regular Ukrainian home, is getting married under a Chuppah.

Each year, Camp Yeka turns into a home for over 100 Jewish boys from disadvantaged and poverty stricken backgrounds. Many of the children are orphaned or come from abusive homes. Camp Yeka provides them with a glimmer of light, an opportunity to be free of all their worries and more than anything to just be happy Jewish kids. They have set a goal of raising $60,000 to cover the costs of this year’s summer camp. For the next 36 hours all donations are to be doubled by generous matchers • Full Story, Photos
