Uman. Young children quietly coloring while their parents are praying.

Reciting Psalms in Uman, resting place of Rabbi Nachman of Uman

Uman, kiosk. Like a bit of Israel in Ukraine. Sign in Russian, English and Hebrew announces that kosher products are sold here.


Hands spread out in benediction indicate that this is the grave of a Kohein, a person from the priestly tribe.

Medzhibuzh. This and Haditch are the most peaceful places.

Typical Ukrainian homes
