The story of Moshe (Moshe-Tzvi) Segal is the trajectory from Poltava to Jerusalem. Youth in the Ukrainian Jewish environment, strict study routine, and the first Zionist circles turn into a public gesture of freedom at the Western Wall on Yom Kippur in 1930. He gave the final sound of the shofar — tekiah gedolah — and was arrested by the British police; that same evening, Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Kook secured his release. This frame marks the beginning of the long journey of a man who not only protested but also built institutions of Jewish life. Birth and Childhood in Poltava (1904–1924) Moshe Segal was born in Poltava on February 23, 1904 (6 Shvat 5664) to the family of Avraham-Mordechai ha-Levi Segal and Henna-Leah Minkin . His home was traditionally Jewish, with deep religious and Zionist traditions. From an early age, he was distinguished by his eagerness for books. Segal's "second school" was not a gymnasium but the Poltava Jewish Community Library , where he spe...

Every year on September 29, Ukrainians mournfully remember the tragic pages of their history. Over two days — September 29 and 30, 1941 — the Nazis shot more than 30,000 Jews in Kyiv. What is important to understand is that this was one of the largest punitive actions of World War II. Babi Yar: Memory of Tragedy Babi Yar is a place of memory, a necropolis where about 100,000 civilians and prisoners of war, destroyed by the Nazis in 1941–1943, are buried. Among the victims of the Third Reich: Jews and Roma, Red Army soldiers, communists, underground members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, prisoners in the Syrets concentration camp, "saboteurs," curfew violators, patients of the Pavlov Psychiatric Hospital. After the end of World War II, the Soviet authorities remained silent about the tragedy of Babi Yar for a long time, distorting the memory of its victims. The Soviets even tried to destroy Babi Yar itself and the surrounding cemeteries. One totalitarian regime...

" Russia failed to achieve its main goal — the destruction of the Ukrainian nation ", - in his column on September 27, 2025, for Financial Times Yuval Noah Harari reminds of a simple but often forgotten definition: war is the continuation of politics, and it is won not by those who capture more kilometers, but by those who achieve political goals. In this dimension, the historian argues, Ukraine is "already winning" : Moscow failed to destroy the Ukrainian nation and impose capitulation. On the contrary, national identity has strengthened and become irreversible. Battlefield facts supporting the thesis 1) Disruption of the "blitzkrieg" and failure of Russia's strategic goals Russia's initial advantage in February 2022 did not convert into the fall of Kyiv. Ukraine held on and then conducted counteroffensives in the Kharkiv and right-bank Kherson directions. Since mid-2022, the Kremlin's bet on an "inevitable" strategic breakthrough ...

Main Thesis. In modern conflict, victory goes not to those with more divisions, but to those who can quickly turn ideas into working solutions on the battlefield — from drones and electronic warfare to autonomous platforms and logistics without large targets. This is precisely what Valeriy Zaluzhny asserts in a new article (Ukr.) on ZN.UA dated September 24, 2025: innovations are the foundation of a "strategy of sustainable resistance," making war operationally meaningless for Russia. In modern conflict, victory goes to those who can quickly turn ideas into serial solutions. Valeriy Zaluzhny proposes a simple but tough strategy: make war operationally meaningless for the aggressor — through technological initiative, comprehensive defense, and continuous adaptation. Classic methods — massing forces, "wall to wall," heavy equipment in columns — are losing effectiveness. Why? Because drones, electronic warfare, network-centricity , and the long reach of long-range...

 As of 23 September 2025, Bananot.Net reframes romance. Not hours, but aesthetics: strippers in Israel , companions, and women who transform cities into elegant stages. Romance or Aesthetic?

The City Becomes the Stage Every Israeli city carries its own mood. Women on Bananot.Ne...

The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was presented with the first-ever siddur in Ukrainian — in the nusach "Tehilat Ha-Shem", with the KE”T imprint. It was printed in Kharkiv, at the printing house of Mikhail Shperin , which was destroyed by a Russian missile at the beginning of the war; today the workshop has been restored, and the editions have been distributed to schools and synagogues. The gift was presented on August 25, 2025 at the National Prayer Breakfast in Kyiv. This is not a souvenir: thousands of copies have already been distributed to schools and communities; a full version with Mincha and Maariv is being prepared for release. Let's start with the important: where and how it was printed Kharkiv. The printing house of Mikhail Shperin . During the first months of the war, it was hit by a Russian missile: walls were knocked out, machines were dead, and the smell of soot filled the workshop. It seemed like the end. Time passed — and the printing is bu...
