UKRAINE. Jewish Pilgrimage. 

Gueorgui Pinkhassov 

Uman, some 125 miles from Kiev. Thousands of Jewish men from all over the world arrived by plane and charter to spend Rosh Haschana (New Year) in October at the tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. He had died in 1810, and had taught his followers, the Bratslaver Jews, to gather each New Year at his court. Nachman of Bratslav put a populist trend on Judaïsm that swept Eastern Europe in the late 1700's. The faithful now make this annual pilgrimage to Uman's sacred ground.
