A Jewish social services center opened recently in Ukraine with funds provided by a Pittsburgh family. The Posner family donated the money to renovate a public space for the Hesed Emuna center in the town of Vinnitsa, one of 90 such centers that have been established in the past few years to serve elderly Jews in the former Soviet Union. The centers are primarily being funded by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
