Hasidic pilgrims should refrain from making the pilgrimage to Uman for the celebration of the Jewish New Year, which falls between September 25 and 27 this year, for security reasons.. The corresponding appeal was published on its Facebook page by the Embassy of Ukraine in Israel.

“When the echo of Russian enemy explosions does not stop in Ukraine, we must take care of ourselves. Avoid coming to Uman on Rosh Hashanah and pray that peace returns to Ukraine and the blessed pilgrimage is resumed,” the message reads..

As you know, the Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly called on pilgrims to refrain from visiting Uman, given the Russian aggression and the inability to ensure the safety of the pilgrims.. Despite this, according to some information, about a thousand Hasidim have already arrived in Uman.

Jewish New Year Rosh Hashanah this year falls on September 25-27. Traditionally, followers of Bratslav Hasidism and Hasidism in general arrived in Uman to visit the grave of the spiritual leader Tzadik Nachman.
