At 4:00am this morning, a truck appeared at the gate of the JCC and Synagogue of the Jewish community of Zahaproziah, Ukraine, which was recently firebombed. Flowers designed in a style traditionally sent to funerals were left at the gate.

The flowers were arranged to reflect the colors of the Ukrainian flag, with the number 8 on top.

The guards responded quickly and questioned the driver, but he said he only knew that they were sent to the community as a gift towards the 8th of March, which is International Women’s Day, reports the FJC.

In response, the community members in town have been alerted to keep an open eye and be extra careful. Additional security precautions have been taken with the help of funds raised by the FJC’s emergency campaign.

To help the FJC continue securing the Jewish institutions of Ukraine, donations can be made here.
