Pilgrims Arrive in Uman for Rosh Hashanah Despite Safety Warnings
The city of Uman in Ukraine's Cherkasy region is preparing to host the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, which falls between September 11-13. Preparations include setting up temporary synagogues and displaying signs in Hebrew to accommodate the expected influx of visitors. The first pilgrims have already begun arriving, with approximately 2,000 estimated to be in the city so far, and a total of around 40,000 are anticipated from around the world.
To manage security and order, authorities have implemented a special entry and movement regime effective from September 4 to September 17. Concurrently, the U.S. State Department has issued a strong advisory urging American citizens to avoid travel to Uman. U.S. diplomats cited ongoing shelling and a critical shortage of reliable bomb shelters in the city as reasons for the warning.
