Preparations for the expected tens of thousands of mispallalim who will arrive in Uman for Rosh Hashanah continue. Tents are being set into place and hotels and guest houses are readying as arrivals are coming daily with the large influx expected ahead of Shabbos.

Uman Express CEO Refael Tuvol explains with Rosh Hashanah beginning on a Sunday night, the arrivals have begun and his drivers are busy making trips to the airport to bring people to the area of the tziyun of Rav Nachman. As the week progresses Uman Express promises to step-up service to avoid delays whenever possible.

Tuvol adds his modern buses are also used to transport visitors to kivrei tzaddikim in the Ukraine.

At the tziyun of Rav Nachman and the general area, Shomrim Uman are already in place and there will be over 50 additional security personnel from a local company which will remain in place during Rosh Hashanah to prevent thefts and/or anti-Semitic incidents with locals.

Shomrim Uman add that anyone having to report an incident should phone 38-073-414-9975.
