Moše Reuven Azman

Moše Reuven Azman is a prominent rabbi known for his outspoken opposition to Russian aggression in Ukraine. Born in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), he has been a vocal advocate for peace and justice, particularly following the escalation of conflict in Ukraine. In April 2023, he composed a song urging former U.S. President Donald Trump to take action in support of Ukraine, following a tragic incident where Russian strikes killed 13 people. Azman believes that music can convey emotions and messages that words cannot, and he calls for international attention to the plight of Ukrainians amid the ongoing war. His advocacy has drawn both support and criticism, particularly from other Jewish leaders in Russia.
