In the past few days, about 20 emergency calls from the city of Uman in the Ukraine have been received by United Hatzalah in the Ukraine due to the winter and snow conditions near the tziyun of Rav Nachman ZT”L.

Yisrael Starik, head of the United Hatzalah team in Uman, said: “In cases of bruises, injuries, fractures, and respiratory problems due to the winter and snow conditions, in any medical emergency in Uman and the Ukraine it is recommended to call immediately 063-800-1221 to activate EMS volunteers closest to the call area”.

United Hatzalah officials in Ukraine add that those coming to the tziyun or to travel to kivrei tzaddikim in the region must be certain to bring appropriate winter clothing for the difficult Ukrainian winter.
