The Jewish population of Ukraine before the Second World War was over 2.5 million. Now the current population is only around 100,000.

A whole world with its very own culture, rules, and customs was decimated in the Holocaust.

Decades later, descendants of survivors, along with friends and supporters, are working hard to piece together remnants of this once vibrant world.

In western Ukraine and other parts of the former Austro-Hungarian empire, many restoration and educational projects are underway. But in eastern Ukraine, not so much.

One man however, has taken on the gargantuan task of cataloguing Jewish shtetls in eastern Ukraine.

Vitali Buryak recently discovered his Jewish roots. In the process, he created a website called History of Jewish Communities in Ukraine.

I came across his website while doing research on shtetls. Vitali, also known as Chaim (his Jewish name), kindly agreed to tell me his story so I could share it with you. This is part of that conversation. 

Full transcript can be found at the Nash Holos website here.

Hava Nagila. The words are Hebrew for Let Us Rejoice. They also comprise the title of one of the most recognizable and well-known songs in the world.

And little did I know just how appropriate a theme song it would turn out to be for a radio series called Ukrainian Jewish Heritage.

This Jewish folk song with the catchy melody actually originated in Ukraine, and it had quite the journey from a shtetl in Ukraine to the world of pop culture.

Hava Nagila (The Movie) is a documentary romp through the history, mystery and meaning of this ubiquitous Jewish standard.

It is as entertaining as it is informative. It not only details the song’s origins in Ukraine, it also details its journey to become a pop culture sensation around the world.

Or, as the producer and director of the movie puts it, from Ukraine to YouTube.

This movie will make you laugh, possibly cry. But without a doubt it is a story that will leave you amazed as well as amused.
