Averbuch is active in promoting Ukrainian-Jewish relations. In 2022 he organized a first-of-its-kind series of bilingual (Ukrainian-Hebrew) literary events dedicated to contemporary Ukrainian poetry in Hebrew translation, which involved prominent Ukrainian and Israeli poets and translators. Currently he is compiling and editing an anthology of contemporary Ukrainian poetry in Hebrew translation. He earned his PhD in Slavic and Jewish studies at the University of Toronto. Since 2022 he has been an Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Postdoctoral fellow at the University of Alberta.

For Craig, healing has thus taken on a more holistic model that integrates his social science education and his nursing background to center on communal listening and the holding of space for the breadth of human expression. His poetry is grounded in this work.
