The 27 New York-based undergraduate students is heading to Vienna to support the hundreds of Ukrainian refugees relocated there with plans to provide educational activities for children, sort donations, deliver supplies and help coordinate housing.
The trip, which will take place from March 13-20, is being led by Yeshiva University Vice Provost of Values and Leadership and Sacks-Herenstein Center Director Erica Brown and Rabbi Josh Blass.
Yeshiva University chose Vienna as its destination since it's close enough to the conflict zone to receive Ukrainian refugees but not close enough to endanger students, Brown explained.
