                  The STATEMENT of the leaders and representatives of Jewish organizations and communities acting in Ukraine.

                  21.07.2003

                  STATEMENT


                  We, the leaders and representatives of Jewish organizations and communities in Ukraine regard the content and style of the statement published in the “VEK” newspaper on July 8, 2003 – directed against Joseph Zissels, Chairman of Vaad of Ukraine – completely inadmissible and unacceptable, both in the larger Jewish world and the Ukrainian Jewish community.

                  Whatever misunderstandings on various Jewish and non-Jewish issues exist, we disagree with the methods used by the organizers of the “VEK” statement to express them.

                  We consider that Joseph Zissels is one of the most active and authoritative leaders of the Ukrainian Jewish Community and are ready to collaborate further with him for the good of all Ukrainian Jews.
