Uman (Ouman)

Uman, city of central Ukraine, is the principal pilgrimage site of the Bratslav branch of Hasidism: it is there that Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav (1772–1810) is buried, whose tomb attracts tens of thousands of Hasidic pilgrims from around the world each year at Rosh Hashanah. The Jewish community of Uman was also the scene of deadly pogroms in 1768 and 1919, then decimated during the Shoah.
