Rabbi's Grandson Leads Emotional Breslov Prayer Service in Uman

By כיכר השבת, משה מנס
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Tzviקה Binder, grandson of the legendary Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, led a deeply emotional prayer service attended by approximately 1,500 worshippers in Uman, Ukraine. The service, held at Rabbi Nachman's tomb, was characterized by intense prayer, weeping, and applause, particularly during the recitation of the "Shema Yisrael" prayer and the "Hamelech" hymn.

Binder, who leads prayers from the "Shul" in the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem, emulated his grandfather's spiritual style, emphasizing heartfelt prayer "without wrappers." His performance resonated with the attendees, who were moved to tears and expressed their longing for spiritual connection, described as "work of the heart."

The event highlighted the enduring appeal of Breslov Hasidism and the spiritual significance of Uman as a pilgrimage site for followers of Rabbi Nachman. Binder's ability to connect with the congregation through his passionate delivery underscored the transmission of spiritual legacy across generations.
