About Kiev

Kiev or Kyiv is the capital and largest city of Ukraine, located in the north central part of the country on the Dnieper River. The population in July 2013 was 1,847,100. The city's name is said to derive from the name of Kyi, one of its four legendary founders. The city probably existed as a commercial centre as early as the 5th century. Kiev has a humid continental climate, the warmest months are June, July, and August, with mean temperatures of 13.8 to 14.8 °C (56.8 to 76.6 °F). The coldest are December, January, and February, with mean temperatures of −4.6 to −1.1 °C (13.7 to 30.0 °F). The Dnieper River naturally divides Kiev into the Right Bank and the Left Bank areas. Historically located on the western right bank of the river, the city expanded into the left bank only in the 10th century. Most of Kiev's attractions are located on the right bank. It is said that one can walk from one end of Kiev to the other in the summertime without leaving the shade of its many trees. Most characteristic are the horse-chestnuts. Kiev has major art galleries and museums plus parks, beaches and boat hire.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Kiev

The Jews in Kiev are first mentioned in a 10th century letter. They experienced several pogroms, including the Babi Yar massacre during the Holocaust. Today there are approximately 10,000 Jews in Kiev all though some estimates put the figure as high as 110,000, with two major synagogues: the Great Choral Synagogue and the Brodsky Choral Synagogue and another two smaller synagogues. In the westernmost area of Ukraine, Jews were mentioned for the first time in 1030. The main Kiev synagogue located in Podol was returned to the Jewish community in 1945 and for 50 years was the only operational synagogue in Ukraine. There are six certified Kosher restaurants and eateries in Kyiv, for more details about Kosher food check our kosher restaurants page. However in times of Covid-19 we strongly recommend to call in advance and make sure the place is open and still under supervision (of course - always check The kosher certificate on the premises and contact the Rav Mashgiach in any doubt or question) Please make sure to update us, if you discover new kosher information.

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.

Please note - *JOFY does NOT mean that KOSHER food is served on the premises!
