Rabbi Moshe Reuven Azman (born 14 March 1966 in Leningrad, USSR) is the Rabbi of the Brodski Synagogue in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine and the chief Rabbi of Ukraine of the All-Ukrainian Jewish Congress and the United Jewish Community of Ukraine, one of three rabbis with a claim on the title, and one of two Chabad rabbis with a claim.Born in Leningrad, Azman hails from a family of both Chabad and non-Hasidic rabbis—his mother's family was Chabad, his father's Litvish. He is married to the daughter of Reb Zusya Hirsh Lyubarsky, a shokhet from Kharkiv. Azman was active in the refusenik movement since his youth and received ordination as a shokhet (ritual slaughterer) when he was 18. In 1982, the central communist newspaper Pravda, reporting on Jewish refusenik activities in Leningrad, referred to him as "An enemy of Soviet Power." Several years later, in 1987, he received permission from the Soviet government to leave the USSR and studied in Chabad yeshivas in Israel. He was appointed head of "Beit Chabad for Russian Jews" in Israel during the Russian aliyah of 1991, helping Russian-Jewish immigrants adjust to Israel life in Israel and reconnect to Judaism. Rabbi Azman was also charged with bringing Ukrainian-Jewish children of Chernobyl to Israel and overseeing their medical and psychological rehabilitation. Wikipedia
