Event for library workers
“Open Door Days” of the Community Center “Thia” for teams of partner organizations are traditional events that are held to increase experience and deepen friendly ties with colleagues. This helps to better understand our work, to jointly plan further steps in our activities. This time, we were visited by teams of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Scientific Library named after M. Ostrovsky and the Khmelnytskyi Regional Library for Youth.

Melodies of old Proskurov
During December 6-8, a rather unusual seminar for all aspiring musicians was held in Khmelnytskyi, which touched on the topic of the musical Jewish heritage of our city. Few people know that the Proskuriv klezmer - Jewish musicians - left behind a unique mark on the musical heritage, which is extremely valuable for ethnographers and, in fact, musicians.

"What do I know about breast cancer and what am I doing against it?"

Big holiday game
Khmelnytskyi City Day will be remembered for its colorful events, noisy actions and mass festivities, but for many of our clients another event will remain in their memory. The festive open-air chess game was long-awaited, intense and interesting, because such an event had never been held in our city before. At the same time, sixty warring armies converged in battles on chessboards! But the most interesting thing was that […]
Visiting Medzhyborz
On September 22, 1942, the small town of Medzhibizh was shaken by unheard-of cruelty. On that day, local police and SS units took the entire Jewish population out of the settlement. These were men, women, children and the elderly, who were no longer destined to return to their homes. And after the anti-Jewish campaign, Medzhibizh, once a powerful Jewish center, joined the list of “Juden Frei” […]

This year, the number "16" is extremely relevant for the Khmelnytskyi Charitable Foundation "Hesed Besht" - September 16 marks the 16th anniversary of the registration of the charitable organization, which the team considers the foundation's birthday.

Proskurov's former face
To mark the 16th anniversary of the creation of the regional charitable foundation “Hesed Besht”, the city’s history museum is hosting a photo exhibition by Leonid Zapadenko “Where to get a little happiness…”. The author is an amateur photographer and researcher. Working as a volunteer for “Hesed Besht” since 2013, Leonid Petrovych has found many photos — evidence that Proskuriv used to be a small Jewish shtetl, because most of its residents are Jews. Collecting photos of relatives, […]
