You Should Go

I returned from Uman shortly before dawn last Monday (18 Sivan/31 May). Arkia Airlines has recently started flights between Tel Aviv and Kiev. Occasionally, as happened last week, they offer low-priced tickets. I paid $270. A number of other Breslover chassidim that I met on the plane paid only $250. One passenger paid a measly … Continue Reading

Written by Julian Ungar-Sargon MD My trip was motivated by a number of factors. The romance of travel, the exotic nature of Sofia park and her possible relationship with Reb Nachman and my learning of his work Lekutei Moharan since pesach this year when Yehuda Leib my friend had placed “samech daled” the 64th maamar … Continue Reading

SHOFAR: UMAN 2009

Amidst the silence of 15,000 men breathing in expectation, the Halachic anxiety reigns- until now. The central core of Rush Hashanah- this year only one day on Sunday- will shortly be fulfilled, the obligation to blow and hear the shofar and its shrill sounds. The text reads: lishmoah kol shofar to listen to the Kol … Continue Reading

The Road to Uman #2

The host begged everyone to sit and partake of the refreshments he had served in their honor. However, the time to daven Ma’ariv had already arrived. Reb Noson said that it was prohibited to eat a meal before praying. So they prayed Ma’ariv together then and there. The host was greatly inspired by the prayers … Continue Reading

As the summer days pass, Breslover Chassidim and others who heed Rabbi Nachman’s clarion call are making preparations for the annual Rosh Hashanah pilgrimage to Uman, Ukraine, where Rabbi Nachman is buried. However, many people wonder why this event is such a “big deal.” How do we even know that this is what Rabbi Nachman … Continue Reading

The discussions at this time of year invariably involve this point of debate. Should one leave the Holy Land to travel to Uman, particularly for Rosh Hashana? This (non) question has been answered by many great Tzadikkim in the past, and it is not my place to attempt to add to those responses. Nevertheless we … Continue Reading

Rabbi Yitzchok Breiter z”l (1886-194?) composed a systematic introduction that sets out the basic fundamentals of the Rebbe’s teachings in two works: “Seven Pillars of Faith” and “A Day in the Life of a Breslover Chassid”.

“On Rosh HaShannah one must act wisely and only think good thoughts. One should only keep in mind that God will be good to us. One must be happy on Rosh Hashannah, and yet one must cry. The first day of Rosh Hashannah, one must speak as little as possible. The Rebbe said that a … Continue Reading

The effect of Rosh HaShannah is to strengthen faith. There are great gatherings of Jewish communities everywhere. Especially significant are the gatherings of Jews around the true Tzaddikim.

Anyone even slightly familiar with Rebbe Nachman’s teachings knows of the paramount importance attached to this holiday within Breslov circles. From far and near, people came to Rebbe Nachman for Rosh Hashana, to spend the beginning of the year with him. Even after his passing, this practice continued. Breslovers flocked to Uman to pray at … Continue Reading
