The intensity of the holiday season along with the corona quickly made us forget what happened just two and a half weeks ago, how Ukraine and Israel stopped the entry of tens of thousands of followers into the city of Uman ahead of Rosh Hashanah.

Yesterday (Tuesday), Breslav's followers in Israel and around the world marked the 102nd anniversary of the death of Rabbi Nachman, the founder of Hassidism.

Due to the corona virus there were not thousands at the events, but dozens and hundreds did mark the day mostly with joy and dancing, as the storks advocate.

Documentation from Ukraine shows how hundreds of devotees dance together in the country without interruption.

Hassidic sources criticize Ukraine and Israel for banning entry into the country and marking the grave on Rosh Hashanah, while this is now being done without interruption.

In Israel, underground celebrations were held in a number of locations in the country.

In light of the ban on gathering and gathering, the devotees chose sparsely populated areas and danced together for long hours.

Thus, during one of the celebrations in Jerusalem, one of the followers tried to document the incident and was stopped by his friends.

'We do not want it to reach the police and they will come and dismantle the incident.

"We do not mind a fight with the police, but in the end, after we are happy, they told him."

A source in Hasidism tells "Israel Today" that in Breslav there is still a lot of anger about what happened in Belarus and Uman on Rosh Hashanah.

"People are still charged after Rosh Hashanah, who shut down the artist. People in the crease fall apart and send messages from the heart. They came back trained healthy and intact. There are a few who got sick, maybe ten. Everything explodes for the people."

Most of the participants in the celebrations who came from Oman and Belarus were up to these days in isolation, which made the celebrations even more powerful.

Among the participants were probably also those who were still supposed to be in isolation.
