Jewish Pilgrims Celebrate Rosh Hashanah In Uman, Despite War

Ukrainian police officers provide security as thousands of Hasidic pilgrims, mostly men, arrived in Uman to mark the new year, which began at sundown yesterday. Uman contains the burial site of a revered 18th-century rabbi, Nachman of Breslav, and in a typical year might see tens of thousands of pilgrims for Rosh Hashanah on September 26, 2022. Fewer are expected this year, amid warnings from Israeli and Ukrainian officials to not travel.
