Rabbi Nachman will save from rockets. With this thought, thousands of Hasidim in 2022, during the active phase of the war in Ukraine, are going to Uman for traditional celebrations of the Jewish New Year.
Rosh Hashanah will be celebrated on September 25-27. The founder of Bratslav Hasidism is buried in Uman. His grave is a place of pilgrimage for tens of thousands of Bratslav Hasidim every year.
This time the arrival of up to 10 thousand pilgrims is expected. This is three times less than last year. Because of the closed airspace over Ukraine, it is more difficult to get here. In addition, some pilgrims did not dare to go to the country because of air raids and active missile attacks from Russia.
However, those who did arrive, say they are not afraid, because they believe in the power of faith and the power of the grave of Rabbi Nachman. In addition, most pilgrims are from Israel, and smile in response to the missile threat. They say they are used to war at home.
What restrictions due to the war and the arrival of pilgrims were introduced this year in Uman, whether Hasidim hide in shelters during alarms and how they assess Israel's political position towards Russia, see in the report of Mariana Pietsukh.
