The U.S. Department of State is advising American citizens against traveling to Uman for the annual pilgrimage to the grave of Rabbi Nachman during Rosh Hashanah.
From September 4 to 17, special traffic and access restrictions will be in effect in Uman during the Rosh Hashanah celebrations to ensure the safety of pilgrims and local residents.
Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgen Korniychuk has said he does not rule out that the Russians may launch a missile strike on a crowd of people in Uman during the celebration of Rosh Hashanah and then blame Ukraine.
