On September 10, the head of the Cherkasy OVA called on Hasidim to refrain from the pilgrimage to Uman for the celebration of Rosh Hashanah. At the same time, he admitted that, despite the warning, some of the faithful will still come to Uman.
In 2023, despite the warnings of the Ukrainian authorities and security services, more than 23 thousand Hasidic pilgrims visited Uman.
In Uman there is a grave of the tzaddik (righteous man) Nachman, the founder of the so-called Bratslav stream of Hasidism, one of the most revered shrines and a place of pilgrimage for representatives of this stream. All Jews from this stream of Hasidism consider it their duty to visit the grave of Tzadik Nachman at least once in their life and believe that the new year, if they meet him on the holiday of Rosh Hashanah in Uman, will certainly be happy for them.
