European soil. Just waiting for the triggering THUMP to be awaken into life... It is happening all over, but once again: we cannot do much to prevent it; seems the History must repeat itself.

saturday if life is in danger. next, get out of there. these ukrainians are not worth a penny. spend the money in israel. get all the jews out. sell what they have there for best price and let the stupid ukrainians drown in their racist stupidity. you deserve what you got. you learned nothing from history. do you know the definition of stupidity. doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different outcome.
3. going to Uman = supporting anti Semites
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (09.08.15)
To go to Uman to support a country known for its large population of anti Semites seems stupid to me. Bring Rebbe Nachman to Israel, maybe Safad, then make your pilgrimage there. What mitzvah is there to support our enemies? Na Nisht Nachman b'Uman no more
4. The annual pilgrimage of the Charredi freaks to the
Al   (09.08.15)
uber anti-semites who wish them only ill. You can't make this nonsense up. If the Charredi schnorrers truly wanted to pray at the graves of holy men and women they would visit the graves of the 20k + Israeli soldiers who died defending the country. Instead they go to a hell hole of a hell hole, enrich the local anti-semites and gorge themeless in an orgy of pseudo religiosity. At the same time they leave their families on Rosh Hashanah, a time of family and togetherness. Nothing could be further from Judaism. These freaks are simply that, freaks.

Degenerate imbeciles. We do not need them in Israel.

What investment? You guys got to be kiddin' ,... You folks are turning their city to a dump and their parks and alleys to an outdoor latrine. The locals are tired of you and your conduct - They want you to dig up your rebbe and get lost ,... The only ones that profit from your presence there are the hookers, the moonshine and dope peddlers.
8. No investment in developement -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (09.08.15)
- can alter the will of HASHEM. Make Aliya !. Arn.Sweden.
9. the hasidim are not Jews
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (09.09.15)
they are as pagan as the notzrim. I'd rather live next to a notzri - at least they show up at the Lishkat Giyus......
10. Don't you just love advice to "make aliya"
Howard K. ,   Israel   (09.09.15)
from someone living in Sweden?
11. Bring to Israel
Christy ,   Boston, US   (09.10.15)
Why spend time & money every year in Ukraine? There *must be* some way to bring rebbe Nachman to Israel that doesn't violate the religious beliefs of the Breslovers. If there is no way currently, a respected rabbi should be able to come up with a way. Due to the rising tide of refugees some European Countries may be turning to the far-right for solutions. Europe isn't going to be stable for a while and before it becomes stable there may be bad times ahead.
12. Sounds like they were treated like Palestinians
John ,   Hamilton, Canada   (09.12.15)
"As an example, he pointed to the fact that the authorities have failed to grant the Hasidic tent encampment license, although the Hasidim own 70 percent of its area."
