The sign at the Zion of Rabbi Nachman was removed in favor of a poster: 'Praying for peace in Ukraine''

September 13, 2022   

O pray for the well-being of the kingdom: Ahead of the arrival of thousands of Breslov Hasidim to Uman for Rosh Hashanah, the Breslov Union in Uman replaced the sign located at the main entrance to Rabbi Nachman's tomb with a poster asking for prayers for the peace of Ukraine, in light of the difficult war in the country. In normal times, the sign at the entrance to Rabbi Nachman's tomb welcomes the tens of thousands of Hasidim who come from all over the world to visit the place with a "Welcome" greeting. But this year, the familiar sign was replaced by a huge poster, in Hebrew and Ukrainian, calling on visitors to the place, "This year we all pray for the peace of Ukraine." [Gallery]
