Reply To: Can anyone explain going to Uman?

I must note that most if not all the Rabbanim and Poskim of this dor say it is asuur legamri to go there. Quotes from Poskie Hador…..On Rosh HaShana everyone should be with their families, and not traveling to Kivre Tsadikim. Any person who is a Ba’ar Da’as, a Ba’ar Sekhel, should be Rosh HaShana night making kidush for his family. Families should be eating together, drinking together, and celebrate the Yom Tov together. This is what Yom Tov is all about. On Yom Tov what should we do? Go to a cemetery, or be with our families?”
