Jewish history is being made in the Ukraine: Within a few days, a 90-year-old man will experience the historic Jewish ritual commandment of Brit Milah.

The historic event will take place at the new medical center that was recently established in the Menorah compound in the city of Dnepropetrovsk. The rabbi and 28-year Chabad shaliach (emissary), Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky, is behind the tremendous project that enjoys close professional guidance from the best local doctors.

The Medical Center was recently established by Rabbi Kaminetzky as part of a chain of Jewish projects established in recent years thanks to his extensive activity for the benefit of the local Jewish community.
