Chief rabbi of Ukraine pays tribute to archbishop who saved Jews during Holocaust (Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church)

Moshe Reuven Asman, the chief rabbi of Ukraine, organized events to honor Venerable Andrey Sheptytsky (1865-1944), the Lviv archbishop who worked to save Jews during the Holocaust.

Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, thanked the chief rabbi and said that “the life and ministry of Metropolitan Andrey is a moral guide not only for our Church, but for all of humanity, because ‘the memory of the righteous will be remembered forever.’”

The prelate also thanked the chief rabbi for being a “voice of truth that resounds far beyond the borders of our state” amid the current Russian invasion.
