The memorial complex "Light of the Soul" is an important object both for the community and in the context of the city's history. However, the issue of improving the territory is dealt with only by the Khmelnytskyi Charitable Foundation "Hesed Besht" with the help of volunteers and funds raised from other sponsors. Every year, a general cleaning is carried out here, on which the appearance of the memorial complex depends.
This year, the cleaning took place on schedule. The biggest problem at the cemetery is ordinary weeds: a large area of the complex, under favorable natural conditions for grass growth, is covered with a thick green carpet, hiding matzevs on tombstones under it. A lot of effort must be made to ensure that the entire area is cleaned on time. However, at the initiative of the Director of the Hesed Besht Foundation and the head of the Jewish community, Igor Ratushny, the cleaning is carried out on time and with high quality. We offer you photos after this year's cleaning. After its completion, several carloads of weeds were removed from the memorial.
Next year, new grass will grow here and new cleaning will be needed. If you have the opportunity and desire to participate in this charitable and noble cause, we invite you to cooperate by calling (0382) 70-20-54.
