Forced Conscripted Hasid to Serve as Doctor in Odessa Hospital
A Breslov Hasid from Beitar Illit, who was arrested at the border and assigned to Kharkiv, will be transferred to a rear-echelon role as a doctor at a hospital in Odessa. The change was achieved through extensive connections and diplomatic efforts by the Chief Rabbi of Odessa, Rabbi Abraham Wolff, who engaged with the army's top brass.
Rabbi Wolff's intervention secured the Hasid's transfer to a less dangerous position, where he will receive full religious support, including kosher food, a synagogue, and a mikveh (ritual bath).
The Hasid had been forcibly conscripted into the Ukrainian army, a situation that caused significant distress and concern among his community. His initial assignment to Kharkiv, a city near the front lines, heightened these worries.
