Despite the war: More than 300 Hasidims arrived in Uman on Rosh Ga-Shan
They have not yet paid the tourist gathering. "So far, they have not paid a single penny this year. They have to pay, but by August 15, no pilgrims paid," Pletnyova said. It should be noted that the tourist fee in Uman is the largest in Ukraine - 300 UAH per day from the pilgrim. In early July, the Embassy of Ukraine in Israel reported that in connection with the war in the country, it could not guarantee the safety of guests in our country.
"Due to the fears for the life and well -being of guests of Ukraine and in the light of the uncovered Russian war in our country, despite all efforts, we cannot guarantee the safety Yevgeny Korniychuk. The diplomat also asked for Hasidims and all those who made a pilgrimage to the Nakhman's grave, pray for the fastest cessation in September or October. These days are forbidden any work except cooking.
According to a religious tradition, for ten days before the holiday, the believers are in the so -called "days of trepeck", when it is worth bringing repentance and making repentance prayers. Hasidims who honor their spiritual leader-the founder of the Bratslav Hasidicism of the Nahman, who lived in the XVIII-XIX centuries, come to this holiday.
Before his death in 1810, Nakhman moved to Uman and ordered himself to be buried next to the graves of the Koliyivshchyna uprising killed during the Haydamakh, where many Jews were killed. Earlier, we wrote about why Hasidims are floating to Ukraine every year. In addition to the grave of Nahman's Tzadik, many leaders of different Hasidic yards have been buried in the country, including near Kyiv and Poltava region.
