Despite travel and meeting restrictions during the current global pandemic, we are pleased to report this week that volunteers have completed a first round of cutting and clearing wild vegetation at Rohatyn’s two Jewish cemeteries. Unusually wet weather with many days of storm and rain through the spring and summer to date forced the work to extend much longer than usual, even while the heavy grasses and fast-growing shrubs continued to rise, but the volunteers have prevailed and were able to finish the first full round of clearing this week. Marla and I have been frustrated by the ongoing travel restrictions which have kept us away from our home in Lviv, and unable to join the work so far this year, but we are glad that our Ukrainian friends in the area have stepped forward to help so that the vegetation does not run wild as it did prior to our first clearing work in 2018.
