Beit Midrash presents
Jews, Ukraine, and Putin's Rockets
Led by Edward G. Marks
Jewish life in Ukraine has changed dramatically since the
country s independence. Under the old Soviet system, Jews
went to the back of many, many lines for jobs, for
apartments, for basic respect. Since the 1990s, Jews gain
respect by what they do with their lives and how they
relate to their neighbors not by the accident of having
been born Jewish.
Join us to learn a bit about the history and the recent
lives of our Jewish friends in Ukraine, and the extent to
which Putin s unprovoked invasion has changed everyone s
lives.
Edward G. Marks retired in 2013 after practicing law in
Greater Cincinnati for 46 years, following an initial
career in broadcasting. He is now president of Temple
Ahavat Shalom in Palm Harbor, FL.
In the 1990s, he and his wife began hosting visiting
Ukrainians as part of a volunteer effort for the
Cincinnati-Kharkiv Sister City Project, and he traveled
to Ukraine a number of times during his years as an
active member and as president of CKSCP.
In 2016, he was invited to teach for a two-week period
for The Leavitt Institute for International Development (
TLI ), which presents a two-semester course for law
students and practicing lawyers, teaching the Rule of
Law, the adversary system of justice, the jury system,
and a judicial system free from corruption and graft. He
has continued to teach for TLI, and now serves as Chair
of its board of directors. TLI has offered classes in
Moldova, Poland, and Romania, in addition to Ukraine.
Mr. Marks has traveled to Eastern European countries more
than 30 times for these two organizations, and has
developed close friendships with people from many walks
of life and many age groups. He has developed a close
friendship with Rabbi Alexandr Dukhovny, Chief Rabbi of
the Progressive (Reform) Jewish community of Ukraine. Ed
continues to communicate with a number of these friends,
who have recently fled Ukraine for Italy, Israel,
Denmark, Slovakia, and other places.
Ed and his wife were active through Jewish Family
Services in their home town of Cincinnati, helping New
Americans -- immigrants from the former Soviet Union --
acclimate to life in the United States.
In addition, and perhaps most importantly, Ed is the
father of Ner Shalom Board Member, Alison Marks.
