“Crimea. Course for Return” in Bat Yam: Ukrainian evening, cuisine, music, and auction in support of Ukraine and the IDF — July 23, 2026

On July 23, 2026, a new series of parties for everyone who supports Ukraine will start in Bat Yam.

Svetlana Berdetskaya, Posh Production and the restaurant “Dvizh” with the support of Grigory Tamar are organizing a space for meetings, communication, Ukrainian cuisine, music, and support. The first party of this series will take place at the “Dvizh” restaurant and will be dedicated to the theme “Crimea. Course for Return.”

The idea of the project sounds simple and very human: it doesn’t matter what language you speak here, what matters is that you support Ukraine.

The organizers invite guests not just to an evening with a program, but to a meeting where everyone can feel like part of a big family. This is a space for those who want to see friends, hug, laugh, talk about what hurts, and together support an important cause.

Doors open — July 23 at 20:00.

Address: Ben-Gurion St., 61, Bat Yam.

The first party of the series for those who support Ukraine

The new series of parties in Bat Yam is conceived as a place where the Ukrainian theme is expressed not only through news, politics, and the pain of war but also through live human interaction.

In Israel, people with different backgrounds live: some were born in Ukraine, some moved long ago, some are connected to Ukraine through family, friends, volunteering, or personal stance. For many, supporting Ukraine has become part of everyday life, especially after the full-scale Russian invasion.

Therefore, such meetings are no less important than official statements. They create an environment where people can be close to each other, speak openly, help, raise funds, and maintain a connection with Ukraine even while in Israel.

The organizers emphasize the main meaning of the evening: “We don’t care what language you speak, we care that you support Ukraine.”

This is where the series of parties begins, and the meeting on July 23 will be the first in a new format.

NANovosti — News of Israel continues to report on events that unite the Ukrainian and Israeli agenda because such initiatives show: support for Ukraine in Israel remains alive, personal, and very concrete.

“Crimea. Course for Return”: the theme of the first evening

The first party of the series will be dedicated to the theme “Crimea. Course for Return“.

Crimea is not just geography. For Ukraine, it is a matter of occupation, memory, resistance, justice, and the future. For Ukrainians in Israel, for Jews from Ukraine, and for everyone following the war, the conversation about Crimea remains an important part of understanding what is happening today and why Russian aggression cannot be reduced to a single front line.

The evening’s program features a special format with the participation of Grigory Tamar. Usually, he asks questions to his interlocutors, but this time the organizers are preparing a reverse situation: guests will be able to ask questions.

This makes the meeting more open and lively. It’s not about a dry lecture or a formal speech, but an honest conversation where you can ask about what really concerns you: about Ukraine, Crimea, the war, Israel, security, propaganda, memory, and the future.

Ukrainian cuisine, music, and support auction

One of the important parts of the evening will be Ukrainian cuisine from the “Dvizh” restaurant.

Guests will be treated to dishes that for many are associated with home, the family table, and Ukrainian tradition: homemade herring, Ukrainian salo with pickles, borscht with pampushki, dumplings with potatoes, dumplings with cherries, potato pancakes with mushroom sauce, potato pancakes with sour cream, chicken Kiev, stew in a pot, crepes with cottage cheese, crepes with sour cream sauce, homemade compote, and the signature horseradish vodka Dvizh.

The menu list well conveys the mood of the evening: it’s not just a restaurant presentation, but an attempt to create the atmosphere of a Ukrainian home, warmth, and recognizable taste.

DJ Dan Karpenko is responsible for the musical part.

The host of the evening will be Kirill Galushka.

The organizers also promise surprises and a program from friends — musicians, stand-up comedians, and other artists. Therefore, the first party of the series will not only be a thematic meeting but also a full-fledged live evening with music, communication, humor, conversations, and an atmosphere “among friends.”

Auction in support of Ukraine and the IDF

A separate part of the program is an auction in support of Ukraine and the Israel Defense Forces.

This is an important highlight of the evening. For many Israelis with Ukrainian roots, it is impossible today to separate the two themes: support for Ukraine, which continues to fight against Russian aggression, and support for Israel, which lives under conditions of war and security threats.

The auction turns the meeting from an ordinary party into an event with a specific purpose. People come not only to spend the evening but also to help those who protect life — in Ukraine and in Israel.

Such initiatives show how true solidarity works: not with slogans, but with actions, personal involvement, donations, meetings, and a willingness to be there.

NANovosti — News of Israel considers it important to support such events with information because they help maintain the connection between people, communities, and countries at a time when this connection is of particular importance.
