Activities on the occasion of the celebration of Rosh-ha-Shana, the New Year on the Judaic calendar at the grave of tsadik Nahman started yesterday.
Annually in Uman there are various incidents with pilgrims. Yesterday, the Chassidim was robbed of UAH 45,000.
Police established the identity of the suspect in involvement in the theft. He was a 19-year-old previously convicted local resident.
And last year I remembered a scandal when pilgrims on the car dragged the carcass of a horse.
Despite careful preparation of local authorities, it is still impossible to avoid accidents.
The residents of the town themselves treat the Hasidim with understanding and are not averse to making a living on housing.
As reported in URA-Inform, Ukrainian border guards began to host organized groups of Hasidim pilgrims who come to Ukraine to celebrate the Jewish New Year - Rosh Hashanah.
