Please accept our sincere birthday greetings! Your dedication and tireless work for the benefit of the Jewish community in Kyiv and throughout Ukraine exemplifies the highest level of service to G-d and the nation. Rav Yonatan, your profound contribution to spiritual education and faith support, particularly through your leadership of the Ukrainian Prison Service, has had a tremendous impact on people’s lives, bringing light and hope to those who need it most. Your work continues to inspire and strengthen each of us.
Rebbetzin Elki Inna, your concern for future generations through the Or Avner network of institutions, as well as your special attention to children with special needs, is a true embodiment of chesed and achavat yisrael – love of neighbour.
May G-d continue to bless you and your family with good health, spiritual strength and wisdom. May your deeds continue to illuminate the path of the Jewish community, inspiring us to strive for more light, peace and goodness. We wish you many years of joy and prosperity, full of Torah, simcha and shalom.
Mazel Tov!
