Jerusalem Minister Meir Porush will lead the coordination of the yearly trip by thousands of Israelis to Uman for Rosh Hashanah.
Porush and his staff at the Ministry for Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage will work with the relevant authorities in Ukraine and also make efforts to bolster and improve the operations of the border crossings in neighboring countries.
Based on issues faced in past years, officials of the National Security Council (NSC) made a decision to appoint a minister to regulate the thousands of Israeli visitors to Ukraine, well-aware that despite the war in Ukraine, many Israelis will travel to Uman for Rosh Hashanah. Following Porush’s success at heading the preparations for Lag B’Omer at Meron, the NSC requested that Porush head the Uman project as well.
Porush and senior members of the Jerusalem Ministry held a series of meetings on the topic with officials from the NSC, the Foreign Ministry, the Airports Authority, the National Security Ministry, and Israel Police.
Following the meetings, it was agreed that the Foreign Ministry would instruct the Israeli ambassadors in Poland, Moldova, Hungary and Romania to contact the local authorities with a request to increase the staff at the border crossings to Ukraine in the days before Rosh Hashanah.
Porush also intends to appoint a dedicated project manager who will maintain contact with the leaders of Breslov communities and head the coordination with the relevant government officials at the political, security, and medical levels.
“I’ll work to coordinate with the Foreign Ministry and the other relevant parties to ensure that those who choose to travel to Uman will receive the service they deserve,” Porush said. “The situation on the ground is not simple and it’s important that the public be attentive to the instructions, with a tefillah that we will succeed in preventing danger to human lives.”
“I thank National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi and the Director General of the Foreign Ministry Ronen Levi, who responded to my request on the issue of bolstering the land border crossings between Ukraine and the neighboring countries. I intend to continue working with them and with other relevant parties to faithfully fulfill the mission on behalf of Breslover chassidim.”

Everyone familiar with what goes on knows, that every year, the filthy zionist dogs try to make as if they are controlling Uman (at the end of the day it is the biggest Jewish gathering outside their filthy medina), pompously marching up and down pushkina (the main street of the Jewish area in Uman), until a courageous person gives them a shout or throws an egg/peel etc at them and they tumble over like a pack of cards, usually running to the Ukrainian soldiers/police wining to them like little babies when the Ukrainians laugh in their face and then they’re not seen until the next year.
I guarantee you if they even dare this t=year they’ll get a waffle for from the Breslovers. The Breslovers have already seen first hand the underhanded mafia sickening point that the zionist rats are willing top go to in order to disturb their kibutz, whether it is bribing $50-80 million to the Ukranians, or it is tale-tattling, or any other method, ym”sh.
כן יאבדו יל אויבך ה.
If the government of the host country does not want these visitors. WHY is the Israeli government appointing a cabinet minister to facilitate this travel rather than working with the Breslov askanim to discourage travel or promote visits to the kevorim of other tzadikim outside of Ukraine.
This year may be better than the last one. While there, they could show chesed ledarkei shalom, visiting wounded in the hospitals… for further safety, should take an iron dome with them

If you can’t beat them.then join them.
You won’t stop the breslovers from going to uman for rosh hashanah
Pure zevelkeit, it seems you have extensive experience from spending time in Ukraine
I didn’t know Jews perform pilgrimage to Mecca! Oh never mind, it’s a bunch of misguided delusional Chasidim going to worship a tombstone, never mind
@SfaradiGamur,
I’d really question your status. You probably are not Sephardi, being that you are so arrogantly ignorant of your own lineage.
ALL Sephardi Gedolim held Chassidim and the Rebbe’s in the highest esteem, being the closest derech similar to the ways of the sefaradi Gedolim, who generally Paskened al pi kabala, not like your seneless “Misnaged” inanity, in which you think that faking being the “Misnaged” (as if any Litvak has a clue what the gaon was let alone hisnagdut), and are therefore brainwashed.
Our (Sefaradi) Gedolim generally did not EVER get involved in this machloket between the Holy Gra and the Holy Ba’al Shem Tov.
