The kever of Sora, the daughter of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, was found by Breslover chassidim earlier this week in a state of desecration, with the matzeivah completely destroyed and body parts of pigs placed next to it, especially pig skulls, Kikar H’Shabbat reported.
The kever is located in the city of Kremenchug, Ukraine.
Rav Avraham Chazin, a Breslover askan, told Kikar: “Following the shocking incident, I spoke with a senior official from the Association of Jewish Communities of Ukraine. He was appalled by the shocking images and immediately contacted the local police. From my experience in the past with the association, every similar incident has been dealt with immediately and successfully.”
“This isn’t the first time anti-Semites desecrated her grave,” Chazin added.

I can’t believe some numbskull pigs would do something like this
Each year there is the usual round of postings pleading for the remains of R. Nachman (and his family) to be moved to EY to end the annual ritual of tens of thousands of yidden leaving their families for the yom-tovim and spending running off to Uman. Pouring tens of millions of NIS into one of the world’s most anti-semitic places along with the “incidents” each year where there are arrests and injuries makes no sense. These types of disgusting incidents only further make the case to end the Uman circus once and for all.
Breaking news: antisemitism is rampant in Ukraine. And many other places as well.
