The Modern-Day Adventures of People Who Found Their Way to Uman
Compiled by D. Shapiro
Like a powerful magnet, the grave of Rebbe Nachman in Uman attracts visitors from across the globe. On Rosh HaShanah – the day that Rebbe Nachman said was most propitious for being close to him – the crowds swell to 25,000 and more. Here, in their own words, are the stories of men who made that journey. They come from all parts of the world and from all backgrounds – religious, not religious, even converts – but they share one goal: a search for meaning and inspiration. Pull up a chair and join us. And perhaps next year, you’ll tell us your story, too.
