Over Shabbos, Russia unleashed a massive aerial assault on Ukraine, targeting civilian areas with a barrage of missiles and drones. In Dnipro — a city often recognized as a hub of Jewish life in Ukraine — over a hundred projectiles, including kamikaze drones, were launched. One of the missiles hit the top floor of a high-end apartment complex in the heart of the city, where Rabbi Moshe and Shoshi Weber, Chabad shluchim, reside.

The blast resulted in two fatalities and left many others wounded. Although the Webers’ home sustained significant damage, the family miraculously made it out without injury.

Rabbi Weber oversees Kolel Torah in Ukraine, a global initiative that promotes structured Torah study, especially throughout Europe and the former Soviet Union, with thousands of participants engaged regularly.

“We experienced an incredible miracle this Shabbos. The missile struck the building, damaging our balcony and part of our apartment, but thank God we are completely fine and unharmed,” Rabbi Weber shared.

Rabbi Mayer Stambler, who leads the Jewish communities across Ukraine and has lived in Dnipro since the 1990s, remarked, “It was a very difficult night in Dnipro. I don’t recall such intense and massive bombardments — and we’ve had rockets several times a week — since the war began three and a half years ago. There’s clearly a significant escalation in recent months, and we, the civilians, feel it firsthand.”

He went on to say, “This is the second time in the past month that a Chabad emissary was miraculously saved. Just two weeks ago, a drone hit the car of Rabbi Yossi Wolf, the rabbi of Kherson — and thank God, he too was unharmed. It is time to end this war and put a stop to the terrorism that continues to claim the lives of innocent civilians and soldiers on the battlefield every week. The Rebbe’s emissaries are here — despite everything — to help every Jew, both physically and spiritually. It’s not easy; it’s challenging. But we don’t abandon our mission. We pray for peace and for the coming of Moshiach soon.”
