35,000 Hasidic Jews have traveled to Uman in the Cherkasy Oblast, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs. This marks the second time they are celebrating the Jewish New Year in Ukraine during the full-scale invasion by Russia. Before the war, nearly 40,000 Hasidic Jews visited Ukraine for this occasion.
Cherkasy Regional Military Administration advises Hasidic Jews against traveling to Uman for Rosh Hashanah due to security concerns, but assures heightened security measures.
