List of all Words related to Uman

The city of Uman in central Ukraine annually hosts tens of thousands of Hasidic Jewish pilgrims for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Despite the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war to the south, these pilgrims believe in the protective influence of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, the founder of the Breslav branch of Hasidism, whose grave is in Uman. They see celebrating near Nachman's grave as a way to ensure a blessed new year. The pilgrimage significantly impacts the city, transforming it into a lively hub, with pilgrims thronging the streets, paying for accommodation, and engaging in religious activities. Despite differences in mentality and occasional conflicts, most Uman residents welcome the pilgrims for the economic boost they bring. The pilgrimage also stands as a testament to the enduring faith and survival of the Jewish community despite historical anti-Semitism and challenging circumstances.
