RABBI NACHMAN'S TOMB UMAN UKRAINE
Praying at the Tomb of Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav
Thousands of Hasidic Jews from around the world are gathering in the Ukrainian city of Uman for a yearly pilgrimage marked by singing, dancing and prayer.
The pilgrims crowding the city's streets are mostly men in black hats or kippas coming to pray at the tomb of Rabbi Nahman -- a revered leader of their traditionalist movement.
On the pilgrimage days for a week around the Jewish New Year, this sleepy, dusty town of 90,000 inhabitants some 200 kilometres (124 miles) south of Kiev is transformed into a multilingual hub of the Hasidic movement.
The celebrations are a way for Hasidic Jews to get back to the roots of their movement in the heart of eastern Europe more than 60 years after the Holocaust.
The stream of pilgrims makes its way down Pushkin street to a large metal structure covering the tomb of Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav and two synagogues filled with believers who pray here for hours on end.
Rabbi Nahman, also known as a tzadik or spiritual master, died in Uman in 1810, having urged his followers to gather by his tomb to celebrate Rosh Hashana, or Jewish New Year.
This year up to 25,000 Hasidic Jews, most of them from Israel and the United States, heed his call and attend the celebrations.
The Hasidic tradition, founded in the 18th century in Belarus and Ukraine, places special emphasis on joyous communion with God. The singing and dancing give Uman a festive air.
With Hasidic music pouring out of CD-players and laptop computers, pilgrims dance in circles and sing all around -- in the streets.

Rebbe Nachman chose to spend the last six months of his life in Uman, a small city in the Ukraine, and to be buried in the cemetery there.
Decades earlier, Uman had been the site of several massacres of Jews by the Haidemaks, a band of peasant Cossacks who overran cities, towns and villages across the entire region in their revolt against the Polish nobility. The first massacre in Uman took place in 1749, when many hundreds of Jews were murdered and part of the city was burned. In 1768 the peasants staged yet another revolt. Uman is strategically situated in the center of the Ukraine, about halfway between Kiev to the north and Odessa to the south, and is also a midpoint between east and west. In the 18th century it was a fortified and walled city and could have withstood battles for a long time. Between 25,000 to 30,000 Jews from the surrounding areas fled to Uman in advance of the Haidemak army and secured themselves behind the city walls. But when the Haidemaks arrived, the governor of Uman betrayed the Jews and threw open the gates, resulting in a three-day massacre of well over 20,000 Jews.
Ivan Gunta, the leader of the Haidemaks, then built a canopy outside the synagogue where some 3,000 Jews had found refuge. He said that anyone who left the synagogue and converted to the Russian Orthodox Church would be spared. No Jew left the synagogue and Gunta murdered them all. Only a handful of the remaining Jews survived.
In 1802 Rebbe Nachman passed through Uman on his way to the town of Breslov. Seeing the cemetery and recognizing the sanctity of the Jewish martyrs buried there, Rebbe Nachman remarked, “It would be good to be buried here.” In 1810 he chose to return to Uman to be buried among the martyrs.
Reb Noson, who shepherded the expansion of the Breslov movement after the Rebbe’s passing, realized that Uman, rather than Breslov, should be the focal point of the Chassidut because the Rebbe was buried there. He invested much time and effort to encourage Chassidim to join the annual Rosh HaShanah pilgrimage to the Rebbe’s grave.
Besides the annual Rosh HaShanah pilgrimage to Rebbe Nachman’s grave, Uman became a magnet for visitors at any time of year. Its popularity is based on a unique promise that the Rebbe made about half a year before he passed away. At that time Rebbe Nachman revealed the Tikkun HaKlali (General Remedy), the Ten Chapters of Psalms one should recite in order to rectify sexual sins. The Rebbe then testified in the presence of two witnesses: “Whoever comes to my grave, recites the Ten Chapters of Psalms, and gives something to charity, I will extend myself the length and breadth of Creation for him; by his peyot (sidelocks), I will pull him out of Gehinnom!”
No one before or since ever made such a promise. As a result, thousands of people made the effort to travel to Rebbe Nachman’s grave in Uman. During the Communist era from 1917 to 1989, travel to Uman was restricted and anyone who was caught there risked being deported to Siberia—or worse. But come they did, and they kept coming—from Israel, England and America where new Breslover communities were founded after the Holocaust. More and more people pounded on the gates until finally the Iron Curtain crumbled and the way was opened for all.
Today over 30,000 people travel to the annual Rosh HaShanah kibutz in Uman. You can find a minyan for prayers there every Shabbat. It’s never been easier to travel to Uman and reap the benefits of praying by the Rebbe’s grave.

The Story Of Rescuing Rebbe Nachman's Kever In Uman
The Grand Rabbi of Luction gets kicked out of the holy tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov!!!
known to some as the Kugel Monster as he is an obvious fiend of Google cookies not professing to harbor any independent source of internet surfing the Admur has been gaining great fame and acclaim in recent times, and it is estimated that perhaps even millions of followers will soon be hanging on his every motion!
In this amazing clip we have captured a harrowing experience in which a Nanach Hasid accuses the luctioner kugel to be a fraud! The Nanach yells at him meforsam shel sheker a term used for the contemporary rabbis that are known to mislead the the populace in their pursuit of mediocrity and pettiness, and often simply from greed and wanton lust or for power and honor. This brave Nanach proceeds to kick the admur right out of the holy court of the Hasidic master Rabbi Nachman of Breslov who presides over his millions of Hassidim from his holy tomb in Uman, Ukraine.
It is interesting to note that the gematria - numerical value - of the Hebrew word LUCTION (spelled according to the Hassidic kabalistic tradition: לאקשין - no harshness....) is exactly that of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!!! and the Hebrew word for THE KUGEL (הקיגל) has the same numerical value as NACHMAN!!!
האדמור מלוקשין (לאקשין) בביקורו לציון קודש הקדשים רבינו נחמן מברסלב באומן -- נזרק ונגרש מהציון הקדוש מחסיד נ נח שצועק עליו מפורסם של שקר!!!!

Jewish pilgrims in Uman, Ukraine | Хасиди в Умані ????
Music: Joseph and Nathan Segal: Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav (Bratslav - city in Ukraine). Єврейські прочани (релігійні хасиди) в Умані. Щороку до Уманя (на могилу равина Нахмана з Брацлава) приїжджає більше 25.000 хасидів (релігійних євреїв) з усього світу. Єврейська пісня про равина Нахмана з Уманя.
З вчення равина Нахмана з Уманя:
Музика породжена духом пророків і містить в собі силу, здатну підняти кожного до рівня пророчого натхнення.
Ти знаходишся там, де твої думки. Отож, попіклуйся про те, аби твої думки знаходилися там, де ти хочеш бути.
Все у світі - все, що існує, і все що відбувається - це випробовування, призначення якого - дати тобі свободу вибору. Вибирай з розумом. Знай! Вест світ - дуже вузький міст...і головне, зовсім не боятися!
