Some 30,000 guests were in Uman, Ukraine at the gravesite of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov for Shabbos and Rosh Hashanah.
Visitors from all backgrounds prayed there, asking to be blessed for a good year. There was even a minyan that used Nusach Ari siddurim of Chabad.
A medical station was set up at the location headed by Rav Nachman Klein and Rav Avigdor Landsman, heads of Ichud Hatzalah in the Galil region.
The clinic was manned by ten physicians from Israel and the United States who came especially to provide care for the tens of thousands who traveled to Uman for Rosh Hashanah.
i believe that from israel alone more than 34 k tickets were sold, which does not include people making their own arrangements.
I think Dr Binyomin Nemons number of 50 k is closer to the truth

Dr. Binyomin Nemon, will you post your email address? My husband went and was a bit lost among so many non-English speakers. I think he would benefit more if he goes again to have a chabad English speaking contact. Thanks!
The official Ukrainian government count was 45 thousand. They always under estimate (their count comes from the official bus drop off point; people are coming in other ways). I believe the realistic estimate is 50,000 Jewish in Uman for Rosh Hashana.
In the Bais Chabad tent we had over 300 people on Yom Tov (for Chassidus, davening, Kiddush, fahrbrengen).
Why Lubavitchers in Uman Rosh Hashana, Mr. Woolstone? To fulfill the Rebbe’s Rotzon of Hafotza and Ahavas Yisroel (you should read the Rebbe’s letter of STRONG Chizuk [from the Igros] to Rabbi Yossel Mochkin, who was there with me, and was absolutely amazing). We build a Dirah b’Tactonim for unzer Rebbe and Chabad Rebbeim, in Uman. Lubavitchers who join us in Uman are Mishtatef in that Binyan. What have you done for the Rebbe lately, Mr. Woolstone?
I was in Uman 14 years ago in the summer time & you could literally count on your fingers how many pple were present @ that time…..WOW! Uman to attract 30K is something special!!!
We have the Rebbe and Chassidus
Why Uman for Lubavitcher Chassidim.
how much do believe in our tzadik and if he says that moshoach is coming it must be true
any second now!!!
I totally agree with #4. The pictures are disturbing. Why must frum Jews act like this? We are supposed to be an example to others.
Rabbi nachmans chasidim are strong. in there
אמונה,
We love the rabbi Nachman…
go chabad
This is truly amazing. Here is a Rebbe, long passed on some 200 years ago, with no replacement. Yet, so many thousands of Yidden, from all walks of life, spend lots of money, and endure less than convenient conditions to gain spiritual benefits there.
Don’t forget why he chose to be buried in Uman, not Breslov. There was a massive pogrom in Uman, where tens of thousands of Yidden were murdered, Al Pi Kiddush Hashem. So, he thought it would be beneficial to the Neshamos there, if he would be among them.
We have a Rebbe the נשיא הדור
Not many know how much chabadniks did to preserve his grave.
Some of these pictures are disgusting and make a mockery of the sincere people who go to Uman for Rosh Hashana. Furthermore, I’m not surprised the locals hate the crowds, the filth & garbage – who cleans up? It’s a chilul Hashem. Don’t excuse it by saying the income the locals get from 3 days of visitors is more than they earn in a year – Jews are not animals. They shouldn’t act like that.
very nice
a great opportunity for Breslav Chassidim.
What does a Lubavitcher go there for, we have a Rebbe?.
I womder. Why ppl go to Uman for Rosh Hashana?
Why not Yom Kippur?
Why not tens of thousands come to the Ohel for Rosh Hashana?
Why not to the Kotel?
