Serafim Sabaranskiy, a Ukrainian Jew who enlisted to defend his country, dies in a Russian airstrikeSerafim Sabaranskiy was a proud Jew and son of Ukraine.
The 29-year-old, an active member of the Hillel chapter in his hometown of Kharkiv, saw the war coming early. He bought combat gear on Feb. 23, a day before the Russian invasion began, and as soon as the fighting started, he enlisted with the armed forces defending the city. His brothers in arms say he had saved several of their lives.
On Sunday, he was killed in action, as one of the hundreds of Russian missiles fired in recent weeks landed near his position.
Yuliya Pototska, director of the Hillel in Kharkiv — which was leveled by Russian bombs earlier this month — recalled Sabaranskiy’s avid participation in local Jewish life and his independence of spirit.
