Israel – Tickets have already been purchased and travel agencies have already earned a pretty penny but this year too, there is someone who doesn’t approve of the influx into Uman.

Rabbi Shlomo Aviner has attacked the Jewish New Year’s Eve trend of massive prostration on the grave of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov in the Ukrainian town.
He also said surprisingly that “it is completely uncertain that there is a mitzvah of prostrating on the tombs of the just.
“There are 613 mitzvot from the Torah and many mitzvahs prescribed by the rabbis, but there is no such mitzvah.”
Regarding the righteous man buried at the site, Rabbi Aviner said, “With all his greatness and holiness, his opinion has been considered individual until this very day, not only amongst Israel’s great and grand but also within Hasidism itself.”
The rabbi published his opinion in his weekly article in the “B’Ahava Ub’Emuna” synagogue bulletin.
Under the title “The Land of Israel and not Uman,” Rabbi Aviner claimed that “leaving a family, a wife and children during Rosh Hashana is a moral problem and even a halachic one.”
What about Rabbi Nachman’s promise to exclude from hell all those who visit in Uman?
“We were already acquitted from hell by Abraham… and Isaac our forefather…and moreover, our forefather Abraham sits at the entrance of hell and does not allow a circumcised person to enter…we don’t need to look for new schemes in order to be saved from hell. Are our righteous ones’ words not enough?”
Later, the rabbi quoted from Breslov Hassidism’s books which prove that one must stay in Israel during Rosh Hashana and speak of Rabbi Nachman’s students who did just that.
You have to see it for what it is,a BIG squander
of precious momon yisroel.
Based on a legend,and fable,it is a shame that yiddish funds,are wasted on such banalities,
Hashem Yair Eineinu.
Interstengly that he’s the only one who comes out saying it publicly where many Rebbe’s and Roshe Yeshivos have been saying so privately.
im with rabbi shlomo…thanx
you can have great kavana in your local year round shul.
Thank goodness someone has said this !
The more we are silent about this pseudo form of judaism more strenghth we give it.
Going to Uman is just one of the many new mitzvohs this cult has made up. The tzaddikim over 150 years ago saw the danger of this movement and tried to stop it. Its not too late.
Just say No to Na !
Someone who needs some fame, I’ll tell you an easy way to get,take the biggest and hottest thing that everyone is doing and tell people not to go.
Why dont you tell people not to go to Rabbi Shimon on Lag Bomer.
To Must be in Uman
Look in Teshuvas Chasam Sofer in Yoreh Deah about going to R Shimon on Lag Baomer, and no he was not looking for fame
Anon 10:08
which tshuva? siman?
Thanks
Enough of the Breslav / Uman nonsense already.
Yasher koach Rabbi !
Last year Chacham Ovadia spoke out against it also.
Those two speak for many others.
I saw a movie by Paul Mazursky about this Uman privilege as well as some other video footage related to it online.
Pathetic.
I think alot of the people who are into Breslav and Uman are seriously depressed, that’s why they are so obsessed with simcha and trying to find it through Breslav. May they have a refuah shleimah bikarov, with other cholei Yisrael.
Actually its a Toras Moshe in Parshas Emor.
Yosel,
I dont have it open in front of me now so I dont recall which Siman off hand –
Oops – I meant “Uman pilgrimage”.
(I saw a movie by Paul Mazursky about this Uman pilgrimage as well as some other video footage related to it online.)
well the people that have a mesora to go to uman should go and for the people that do not have a mesora to go should decide if it will do good for them they should go and if not they should not go
by the way in todays genaration if someone wants to go to a tzaddik for rosh hashana why should there be anyone against it instead of waisting his money and going to hershy park on chol hamoed
AND NO IM NOT A BRESLVE
Rabbi Aviner is %100 correct! One must be “Oleh Regel” to Yerushalayim, NOT to Uman!
%oing kapporas on erev yom kippur is also not one ofthe 613. maybe we should stop that too
They go to Uman, spending thousands of dollars that go to the Ukrainians YM”S who murdered my Grandfather and his whole entire family
There is a whole teshuva in Yorah deah too
RABBI AVINER HAS THE COURAGE TO SAY WHAT MAY NOT SOUND POPULAR,BUT MOST RABBONIM,ARE IN THE SAME SHITA.
This has to be extended,to all trips to Kevarim,which are being propgandized,as a Graet Mitzvah,Kever rebbe shimon,Lizensk,Potozki,and others.
10:44 Isn’t it the same as going to the kever of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai in Meron on Lag Ba’omer?
One has to go Uman to understand how profoundly spiritual being there for R’H is. Thousand of Jews of every type coming together is beyond inspiring. Similarly davening with some 5,000 folks is special- Yehei Shay Rabah and Shema Yisrael sound like thunder. The power of the communal Tikun Haklali is tangible. Please remeber that in Ger in the 1930’s there were some 10,000 chassidim who ate on Yom Kippur! Imagine how many folks above bar Mitzvah were there. As to the money going to the Ukrainians- understand their love of money exceeds their antisemitism so our tourism shekels and Dollars help preserves/protect from violence Kivrei Zaddikim and communities in Ukraine.
With all due respect to the good Rabbi but it is a tradditional black hat litvish/mitnagaid point of view.
Bernard, please clarify your comments re. ger in the 1930’s – i am intrigued – what are you referring to??
‘One has to go Uman to understand how profoundly spiritual being there for R’H is. Thousand of Jews of every type coming together is beyond inspiring.
‘
I’m sure it is, but if money is tight I would think it would make more sense to stay at home with your family and spend the money on say household expenses (Food, rent etc). It seems a large expense for a community where so many are quite poor.
First of all about the Mitzvah itself:
Mitzvah Lishmoa Divrei Chachamim. If Rabbi Nachman did say to go to his tomb, then a person who goes there is fulfilling the mitzvah of Lishmoa Divrei Chachamim.
Rabbi Nachman was neither an isolated opinion nor has he been considered an individual.
Breslov is one of the most growing Chasidus in these days.
The Deevrei Chaim Z”L from Tzanz always kept the Likietei Moharan on his table. Rabbi Nuchem MiTsernoabel used to say that it’s a Segulah to learn it before bed time. The Chozah,the Koznitzer Magid, and others gave an Haskamah on his sefer (worthed to read: The Chozah writes: Henah Yad Kesivah Alei Beetzbah Aloakim). The Kedishas Levi Z”L, and the Tanyah Z”L, and many others were talking very highly about him. Up to this date, The Klausenburger Rabbi Z”L, Shotzar Rabbi Z”L from London (he wrote a comentary on Lekituh Maharan)and many others were among the ones who spoke highly about learning the Seforim of Rabbi Nachman Z”L.
Rabbi Joel Teitelbuam Z”L, Satmar Rabbi Z”L, author of V’Yoel Moshe, writes that Rabbi Nachman Z”L was the only one who has foreseen the challenges of today’s generation.
No wonder why: As we are fighting so much Nisyonos, Rabbi Nachman Z”L is considered to be backbone for surviving the Chavali Moshiach.
With all due respect, I’m responding to Rabbi Aviner’s quote: “we were already acquitted from hell by Abraham… and Isaac our forefather…and moreover, our forefather Abraham sits at the entrance of hell and does not allow a circumcised person to enter…we don’t need to look for new schemes in order to be saved from hell” :
It’s written in Talmud, and in Rashis Chochmah that hell is one of the last punishments which is intended to cleanse the person. Not every one is even Zoacha to reach the gates of hell where he could ultimately be saved by our forefather’s.
Rabbi Nachman Z”L is referring to the word “Sheul Tachtiyus” which is the Rachmunah Litzloan, the lowest place where a Jew could have possibly been fallen, and at that remote given position we have no one who has promised to save a person except for Rabbi Nachman Z”L.
Rabbi Nachman Z”L promised that at any given spiritual fallen level he would take upon him self to redeem the person from his evilness. The only tiny thing he was asking is simply come to his tomb, say the Tikkun Haklali and give a Peritah Lenismoasoa.
Of course since this is such an easy task, the Samech Mem has placed so many obstacles not to fulfill it.
A person never knows how many times he has been recreated unto this world where he has Chas Vesholem failed to fulfill his Tikun.
Rabbi Nachman has promised that he would be Mesaken a person who comes to his grave and says the Tikkun Haklali, and gives a Perituh Lezacher Nishmas Rabbi Nachman Z”L.
Rabbi Nachman Z”L writes that the Samech Mam places a Tzadik for a Nesoyan. Which means in order to be Zoacha to a Tikun a person might even hear from a Tzadik not to go. If the person is smart enough, he says what could I lose. Here in Uman there is a Tzadik, who has promised to save my soul, why shouldn’t I fulfill that easy task.
Rosh Hasanah in Uman does not mean leaving a family behind.
If a person, Chas Vesholem, has a court case involving a life sentence, and he travels to a lawyer for a week away from his family, Or, Chas Vesholem if a person is sick, and he travels to far from home hospital does it in any way mean a moral problem or even a halachic one. It would be self understood that the person is doing the right thing as he is traveling there to save his life.
Rosh Hashanah, is the day where we are all being judged by Hakodosh Boruc Hu. Rabbi Nachman is our lawyer and doctor. Rabbi Nachman Z”L said that who ever comes to him for Rosh Hasanah should be happy the entire year, as he has been Zoacha for a blessed year.
A Skelener Chosid once related to me how his father came in to complain about his son who wanted to travel for Rosh Hasanah to Uman. The Skelener Rabbi Shelitah replied: I’m Mamash Mekanah your son, I wish if I could have been Zoacha to leave my Chasiddus behind and go there for Rosh Hashanah.
That people should travel to him for Rosh HaShanah was one of the things Rebbe Nachman was most emphatic about. “Although many other chassidim traveled to the Tzaddikim for Rosh HaShanah, there was no one who was as insistent about the matter as Rebbe Nachman” (Tzaddik #23 ). He said, “My Rosh HaShanah is completely new. God gave me the gift of knowing what Rosh HaShanah is” (ibid.#406 ). Rebbe Nachman said that on Rosh HaShanah he was able to help people in certain ways that he simply was not able to the rest of the year (Tzaddik #406 ). He put so much stress on the importance of his Rosh HaShanah that he exclaimed, “My very essence is Rosh HaShanah!” (ibid. #403 ).
May we all bee Zoacha for a Kesivah Vechasimah Tovah.
To VIN: The Picture, in the article, Portrays Uman as a collection of weird people. I have been there multiple times. Uman is a place of every type of Jew. Thousands of serious, intelligent, Frum, observant, Chassidim, Litvak, Ashkenaz, Sefard, Mizrochi Jews are traveling each year to Uman. It’s a collective view similar to that of Meron, of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, who attracts every single Jew. Many Yidden and me included have been Zocha to see many miracles there. I wish if VIN would allow me to post my pictures from Uman. I have tons of pictures portraying beautiful views of the real Uman. It’s a Sin to post a picture of a minority as a reflection of the Holy tombstone of the Holy Tzadik. Also the picture is not adjacent to the tombstone, it’s adjacent to one of the Shuls. (There are many Minyumin in Uman, there is even a Satmar and a Libatvicher. Almost each year a new Shul is being added to accommodate the tens of thousands Yiddeen BE”H.)
A Git Gebentched Your
I’m not the type to do this stuff….but Went last year. Was surprisingly and amazingly powerful, joyful, sweet and uplifting.
Even shocked myself with attending Minyan consistantly since came back…. go figure.
Breslov is not the fastest growing chassidus.
Chassidus is with a living Rebbe. Breslov is a movement that uses chassidic idea’s. Just like the renewal movement rm’l
And all these people that go complain about tuition! This trip is a waste of money. 2000.00 on a trip to Uman is this what go-d wants from us?
I have been going to Uman for 3 years now. i can assure you that this is the most (from the most for sure) amazing uplifting place to be. I can say on myself after going only 1 time it made a tremendous difference in my life.(for the good)and each year is more amazing then the next.
I wish everyone, were ever they may be for RH, to see the true light in THE (or A) Tzadik and to have a Kesivah Vechasimah Tovah
I went to uman for rosh hashana for the first time six years ago not knowing what to expect. I have been going back since then. anyone who hasn’t been there for rosh hashana simply doesn’t know what’s going on there. it is the most amazing spiritual experience in the entire world. I highly recommend any jew of any background or level of commitment to go at least once. you won’t regret it. don’t worry about the costs. rebbe nachman said rosh hashana is on him. you will NOT regret it. if you’re still not sure take a look at the first rema in the shulchan aruch.
I would like to watch, the next time the Rebbe gets Hagbah!
I don’t mind them going to Uman for Rosh Hashono, I DO mind them coming over here collecting money to fund their trip (not specifically stated but – for parnoso reasons).
In Uman they eat mango with the simonim on Rosh Hashono. “Man go to Uman; wife and kids stay at home”
a few points:
the picture is unaccurate:the majority are not quacks or wierdos
speak to a normal person that goes ,ask ,hear the facts ask him what he felt,
as far as the cost ,ability to afford ,collecting for it…leaving family behind ..these are questions each family must deal with on an individual basis.
The reason it keeps growing is not because of a fad ..fads die out “it is because YES there is a “koach in Uman” ” something spiritual & unique if you can get it in your local shul
ashrecha
In the main article:
What about Rabbi Nachman’s promise to exclude from hell all those who visit in Uman?
Sorry, but to be excluded from hell, do tshuva. Now is Elul, the month of mercy, the gates are open. Turn a new leaf, resolve to not sin, and Hashem will give you and sweet and good new year.
Having said that, I have friends that went to Uman and were inspired by the spirituality and feeling there over RH. B”H over the past 10 years they have made serious strides to cleaning Uman of the drugs, shmutz and nafkahs that outnumbered the visitors, vidal. A friend whose been going 20 years described the scene when every prostitute in Ukraine was working uman on RH. The breslov leadership worked very hard to clean it up, and they deserve credit for it.
Rav Ovadia Yosef said this last year It is time that this is stopped, if a person decides to leave his family that is beween him and his family, but as someone said to give so much money to this country that murdered Jews, what a terrible thing, this is not Yerushalayim to be oleh regel.
the wholemoney to ukrainians argument is overstated and silly.
% of the money goes to ….80% goes to Delta,15% goes to the jewish guys who arrange the beds and food, 5% (amounts to about $90) to a ukrainian cab driver
if that scares you , don’t take cab in Brooklyn etc.
Ger among other chassidic groups during the interwar years did alot of outreach with the youth. Ger was successful there as many as 10,000 kids under Bar Mitzvah spending Yom Kippur with the Imrei Emmet.
My Mother told me My Grandmother remebers chartered trains traveling to Vishnitz for the holidays.
BTW yes because money is tight I will not be going to Uman but from Israel it is only a 2 hour flight and if one camps out you can make do fairly cheaply but from the States it is a few thousand $$$ and that is beyond the budget ASHREICHEM whoever can afford to go.
I suppose all these critics say the same thing about Me’oras Hamachpela and Kever Rochel.
IMHO, the people that have a mesora to go to Uman should go and those who don’t should plunder their homes while they are away
Simple, Rebbe Nachman said to go to Uman for Rosh HaShana and say the 10 psalms, give a litttle charity and do Tshuvah and He will help. If you don’t then your on your own. Obviously Avraham Avinu is not enough. Otherwise why would we be reincarnating all these generations, will all this new Torah coming out? Besides Saba says Rebbe Nachman is Avraham Avinu! duh! There is a Moshe Rebainu for every generation. Rebbe Nachman is the Moshe Rebainu for this generation. What Moshe Rebainu is not enough for you? I’m so sick of this “normal” be like a goy, and don’t be different” type of Judaism personally. Not very spiritual. Rebbe Nachman.. spiritual and more. Helped me a lot. helped a lot of people a lot. Very arrogant of this “Rabbi” saying such things as if money and family are more important then G-d and torah. I suppose he thinks that Rabbi Akiva was home with his wife for the holidays… Not the gemorah that I read.. What does this guy read? Sounds like Messekta “money is more important then the will of the Tzadik” and Messekta “Your wife is your Boss” Yeah, I know it well, I was like that too and worse. Then I found the teachings of Rebbe Nachman Tzadik Yesod Olam. Things started to change for me. Money spent on a mitzvah. I guess also crying tears to G-d is also not part of the 613 is it? Which Mitzvah is that? Don’t need to do that? How much is this guy’s shul worth? How many of your kids are going off the Derek? Better accept Rebbe Nachman now as the Saviour of your Soul or be forced to when Moshiac comes. Do you all believe in Moshiach? Do you think that Moshiach thinks that Yiddishkeit is just grand right now? Wake up, cry to Hashem. Know the truth. Rebbe Nachman Loves Am Israel and HaShem sent us a great gift. I think that this “Rav” probably also reads Likutey Moharan by Rebbe Nachman but he is just keeping it for himself, that is how he is able to rule such a large congregation. But I read the book and I know where his bread is buttered. I suggest that you read Rebbe Nachman too, You will find it really wonderful and inspiring. Read the book before you offer a critique. The one’s on this site that oppose Rebbe Nachman seem to be really ignorant as to what The Rebbe says. Those that are into Rebbe Nachman seem to be a lot more with it. I’m happy to see that many more are for it then against. Falsehood will fall, Truth will rise. Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!!
to saba-noon:
Your article is well inspired, however remove the conclusion which is a Chilul Hashem, and a Chilul Tzadik.
The whole idea of Na Nach is just degrading the name of Breslov. Na Nachs does not in any way represent breslov. Many Yidden would have been Zoacha to be Mekurav LeBreslov if not for the Klipa of the Na Nach drugetics.
I’m well closed with Breslov and B”H the NA Nachs are not recognized in breslov as breslov chasidim.
The Na Nach “movement” was started by a group of French baalei teshuvah who discovered an elderly Breslover Chassid named Rabbi Yisrael Ber Odesser z”l in an old age home in Eretz Yisrael. When they heard his story about having received a “petek” or letter from Rebbe Nachman when he was a bochur in Slonimer Yeshivah, they believed Reb Yisrael Ber and began to disseminate the now-famous petek and the “mantra” it contained: “Na Nach Nachma Nachman me-Uman!”
It was publically known and told by Rav Zvi Ashkenazi, a Slonimer Chassid and one of the leading shochtim u’bodkim in America, that his grandfather Reb Joel Z”L had written the petek and tucked it into one of Reb Yisrael Ber’s seforim as a childish prank. But when he told his extremely devout and temimusdikeh classmate that it was a joke, Reb Yisrael Ber refused to believe him. (Which shows you the danger of letzonus! which caused a big Chilul Hashem to Breslov)
The Na Nach group is a totally marginal phenomenon in Breslov today and not one Breslover gadol buys the business of the petek. But for these kids, the Na Nach sect with its rejection of middle class culture and its pursuit of electric niggunim ecstacy is a way to express themselves in a religious world that for one reason or another they can’t relate to.
It’s a Chorben, as one of the great leaders of Breslov said, that if not of the Na Nachs, many Yidden would have been Zoacha to be Mekurav to Rabbi Nachman Z”L.
Every person should at least once in his lifespan be in Uman. It’s a promise made by Rabbi Nachman with two witness that who ever comes to his grave, and gives a Perituh Letzedukah will be Zocha to Tikun Nitchi.
Kesivah Vechasimah Tovah.
For all of you who go to Uman for yom tov keep in mind that one of the things we remember fondly once we grow up is daving yomim noraim next to our fathers or grandfathers. While you are in Uman, who will be our fathers?
If we have to leave our homes and families for the Yamim Noraim for this “spiritual experience” then maybe we should pack up and move to Uman full time. I looked everywhere in the Torah and couldn’t find this halacha anywhere. The only thing I did see was “Tamim thiyeh im Hashem Elokecha.” So let’s stop with the superstitions and be with our families and watch our kinderlach over these great and awesome days.
As you see they believe that u must accept rav nachman as the savior. Sounds familiar?
Dear Breslover Chusid, thanks for the free publicity. : ) Love you so much..
You opposers to Breslov are like Korach, You must accept Moshe Rebainu or go to where Korach is. Sound familar? No? Make up your own Judiasm? There is a Moshe Rabainu in every generation. You know it says that in the Gemorah? Do you suppose that Moshe Rabainu has a Big fat shul? Belief in this “Rav” and of “Rav” Ovadia Yoseph is superstition, hocus pocus and black magic. Who died and left them in charge that they can be so dog faced as to go against one word of Rebbe Nachman the Holy Tzadik Yesod Olam, the River that purifies of all blemishes, the elder of elders, the flowing brook source of all wisdom. They all better do Tshuvah Real quick and beg Hashem for mercy for speaking like this against Rebbe Nachman. For where we are all going (the world of truth), buildings and money and honor are worthless. Actually they are all worthless now too. Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!!!
I think going to Uman is weird, why is that different than going to any Godol wuo is dead. why is that different than going to the bobov grave or satmer rebbie grave?
PS as far as protecting yiddin from going to hell because “We were already acquitted from hell by Abraham… ” I do not think so, I can think of many yiddin who would get a pass. And if one thinks this is true why is it different than confession as per the Roman Catholic church.
Side track
I always thought that we Jews believe in crime and punishment I guess I am wrong. Now I see why all the yeshivas keep the child molesters and do not punish them. If g-d won’t why should we.
The difference between going to Uman or any other place is the Difference between Rebbe Nachman and all the other Tzadikim. The Bobov with not help you in the afterlife niether will Satmer. Only Rebbe Nachman can help. Only Rebbe Nachman said He could help.
A Catholic Priest is Worshiping an false idol, So a Catholic Priest is a fool. Fools cannot help. Rebbe Nachman is Truely Wise. “A wise man will atone.”
We jews do believe in Crime and Punishment. For example The “Rav” of this article who said these lies will get punished for it.
It’s worthy to read what Rosh Hashanah Says: He actually answers all questions. Also saba-noon Says: is also worthy to read (except for his Conclusion Nah…Nac..) As we are approaching the high holidays, people should be careful about making Choazek of the holy Tzadik. If you have “Sachel” and you want to save your soul, then kindly don’t listen to all these Choazeks, as these jokes won’t save you Beoalam Haboa. Remember the one who laughs the last is the winner. Oaz Vehoader Levisoa Vatizchak Leyoam Hoacroan: On our last day when we have to return our soul to Hashem, the holy Tzadik will be there to fulfill his promise to the person who has been Zoacha to be at his tombstone. If you don’t believe in it then you don’t believe in Hashem either. The Tiferes Sholomo Z”L says Vayaminuh Bahashem IbeMoshe Avdoa. The one who doesn’t believe in the Tzadik simply implies that he doesn’t believe BahaKodesh BoRuch Hu. Yidden, for you own sake do the right move. On your last day, all the jokes won’t be there to save you. It will only be the Tzadikims promises to save your soul, and bring it Leoalam Hanitzchi.
A brother who wishes to every Yid a sweet and healthy year.
BH”Y I will be going to Uman for Rosh Hashana, already when I was learning with a talmid of the Brisker Rav and was attending litvishe Yeshivos Hashem Yisburach had mercy on me and started me learning the holy teaching of our Master Rabbi Nachman, however at that point Rabbi Nachman to me was just another Rabbi, even though/still I read almost everything he wrote. If at that point someone would have offered me a trip to Uman for Rosh Hashana I probably would have jumped aboard but I did not have enough sense to really yearn for this and attempt to get there.
Then H”Y decided to really have compasion on me and he introduced me to the Nanach (including Saba Noon who at that time was only Nanach friendly), that is when I started to realize that Rabbi Nachman is not just another Rabbi, he is in fact the Chief Head Fish! That is when I knew I had to listen to Rabbi Nachman, it’s not just more advice, different sgulos or the like, this is the real thing, this is the Head of all Jewry! This is H”Y’s right hand man! So B”H He pulled off some miracles and I made to Uman, and more miracles, I made it ever since!
Forget about money and goyim, even forget about absolvement, if you want to have compassion on yourself and the whole world, and return normalcy and order, and restore the Glory of The Kingdom Of G-d, start paying attention to what Rabbi Nachman says! Like they say ‘give Nanach a chance’! It’s only about 25 years since Nanach has been in action, and already it is hard to go four feet in Israel without being reminded that you have a chance!- Nanach is there for you! There is a G-d! G-d is One! G-d is good!
B”H Jewry had many holy Rabbis, but if you really want the real thing, but really want, and the real real thing, and you don’t want to settle for anything less, then you will not be detterred by the silly impediments which are like a coin held in front of an eye obstructing all sight. Why do we have money in the first place if not to use for Nanach! You have a dollar, buy a Nanach sticker – light up your soul – do something for mankind for civilization.
The truth is if not for Nanach, and for Saba Noon, it was hard for me to face the great depression lingering over this discussion. Shame on you! What type of Jews are you? True it’s hard when your on the internet, the power of evil is overwhelming, but Hashem Y’ gave us Nanach, so you have the means to beat internet times a billion and then some. Snap out of it. Get into Nanach!
Do you want to be ar real person, have a real life, or do you want to stagnate with peer pressure and society.
Nanach offers you freedom to serve G-d with your own developed personality and character!
If you can’t make it to Uman, at least be with the Nanach at Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai or at the Kosel!
If your unable to leave you wife and kids, why can’t you bring them, enough people do.
Who said thousands of dollars tickets are, to my knowledge, still available at less than $1000. The main thing is to be convinced and to convince G-d of you conviction, the rest will be taken care of.
The main thing is Na Nach Nachmu Nachmun MayUman!
the guy in the picture they posted is a givald, he just got married this year! We could use more pictures
