In June 2008, 6 students from Central Florida Hillel were participants on a Short-Term Service Program in Ukraine sponsored by The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC). Students visited the homes of Jewish elderly and heard stories about how the Holocaust and communism has effected the lives of the Jewish people in Ukraine then and now. Those lost in the Holocaust were remembered through memorial services at Babi Yar and Drobitsky Yar - two memorials in Ukraine. Along with help from the Ukrainian Hillel peers, service projects were performed at Hesed (or welfare) Centers and a playground was repainted for local children to enjoy.
