Chabad Family Not Deterred in Face of Apparent Arson
After spending the last days of Sukkot in a neighboring town, Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries Rabbi Menachem and Moussia Teichman returned to their Uzhgorod, Ukraine, home only to find it gutted by fire.
Following the recovery of key pieces of evidence, authorities in Ukraine’s furthest western region are investigating the destruction as an apparent act of arson. Anti-Semitism has not been ruled out.
The Taichmans, co-directors of the Jewish Community of Uzhgorod, spent the holidays of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah and the following Shabbat in the town of Mukachevo, birthplace of the Munkatch branch of Chasidism. They returned Saturday night to the charred remains of their home, Chabad House, Jewish kindergarten and a recently-finished mikvah.
It was a near total-loss of the second-floor of the property, location of their home, and their belongings.

it would be nice to have information on how to send a donation for a situation like this. Even if they have supporters, its good to get checks and messages from Anash to get chizuk. Please share this information with us all.
