  1. >The son of Moshe Azman, the leader of Kyiv’s Brodsky synagogue and one of several self-declared Ukrainian “chief rabbis,” has died in battle against the Russians, Azman announced Wednesday.

    >“Tomorrow in the Central Synagogue there will be a farewell to my son Matityagi (Anton), who died at the front defending Ukraine,” Azman wrote on X.

    >Late last month, on Ukraine’s memorial day for fallen soldiers, Azman posted on social media that his adopted son, Anton Samborsky, had been officially listed as missing in action in late July.

    >Samborsky was adopted in 2002 at age 10, Azman wrote on X last month, sharing: “We gave him the Hebrew name Matisyahu (Moty) in honor of the heroic leader of the Maccabean revolt against the invading empire more than 2200 years ago, the events that formed the basis of the Hanukkah holiday.”

  2. Tomorrow in the Central Synagogue there will be a farewell to my son Matityagi (Anton), who died at the front defending Ukraine,” Azman wrote on X.

  3. May his memory be a blessing.

    As a small bright spot in dark time, it’s amazing how much Ukrainians have embraced their country’s diversity since gaining independence. I was born in Kharkiv and left when I was still a kid, but I still remember the prevalent antisemitism, even among kids. Now, it’s clear that most of that antisemitism was part of Russian imperialism designed to divide the people of their subject states. Moti’s death will become another tragedy that unites Ukrainians against Russian scum.

  4. Anyone fighting for Ukraine is a hero. When Ukraine is free of those Russian bastards it will be because of people like him
