Israel Cultural Center Donates Libarary to Or Avner School

Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine

(lubavitch.com) The children at the Or Avner School of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine have a lot of reading to do. The Israel Culture Center donated its library to the school on Wednesday.

Rabbi Meir Ostrovsky, principal, leafed through the selection with glee. “I am happy,” he said.

“The library includes many books on Jewish history, traditions, and the land of Israel.” The books are already being used by the students and the school intends to hold a formal ceremony to thank the Center once proper bookcases and plaques are installed.
