Hasidic Jewish pilgrims pray at the tomb of Rabbi Nachman, ahead of the Jewish new year of “Rosh Hashanah”, in Uman, central Ukraine, on September 15, 2023, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Over 20,000 Jewish pilgrims have arrived in Uman, Ukraine, for Rosh Hashanah, despite warnings from Kyiv not to travel for the religious holiday due to the Russian invasion. Thousands of Orthodox Jews come to Uman from Israel and other parts of the world every year to celebrate the holiday in the central Ukrainian city, one of the birthplaces of the Hasidic movement.
