Thousands danced the night away in Uman on Motzei Shabbos, the last night of the year 5778. A massive tent with flashing lights was packed with thousands of revelers, as they danced for hours in anticipation of the new year.
The crowd was given free entertainment by various performers.
Tonight’s performers included Pumpidisa Band, Zusha, Nissim Black, DJ Matt Dubb, Simply Tzfat, Diaspora Yeshiva Band and others.
A massive concert is held on Motzei Rosh Hashanah as well.

Ubichukoseichem Lo Seileichu!
i think this is just like it was in Uman in the 18th and 19th century. haShem Yerachem. 🙂
Hey everyone who?s inevitably gunna have negative things to say about this, remember the old saying, ?Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.? We are all far from perfect, live and let live, you will find life much more peaceful.
Mam
I must respectfully disagree with you.
Let me preface by saying I am NOT commenting on the above story. I do not have enough knowledge nor enough facts to have a serious say if they are correct.
However the concept of live and let live is decidedly anti Jewish
We are commanded to protest wrongdoing.
You can argue as to the credentials of the one calling out, you can take an opposing position as to the merit of the individual act.
But to advocate ”live and let live ” ??
No. That’s simply wrong.
Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo?
Nice slogan, but it’s just a spineless person hiding behind a high faluten sounding phrase.
Sometimes moral indignation is exactly that. Moral indignation.
I?m sure Reb Nachman z?l is shepping nachas.
Good fun is great, and can even be ratzon Hashem if done with the correct intentions.
But, GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!
SINCE WHEN DID GETTING READY AND PREPARING FOR YOM HADIN INVOLVE A WOODSTOCK RAVE CONCERT IN EASTERN EUROPE???
call me old fashion, but this is just wrong.
except nissim black.
Hes good.
If reb Nachman wasn?t buried in Uman rather somewhere in yerushalayim I don?t think it will look like this in the slightest
Why is YWN so obsessed with Uman and what goes on there? Better to be obsessed over why thousands of men abandon their families for Rosh Hashana. Better to be obsessed as to why thousands of men leave E”Y when there is no halachic basis to do so. Better to be obsessed over the shameful “what happens in Uman stays in Uman” atmosphere.
There are many ways to try and become close to hashem
Although I don?t believe any married man should leave their family to go to uman
Better to go to uman than look for the meaning of life in India or Thailand
Where is it documented that the Uman Rebbe said that a carnival atmosphere should immediately precede Rosh Hashana?
Is Rav Nachman shepping or schlepping nachas?
This is NOT what Reb Nachman wanted.
We are not supposed celebrate before Succos. We are supposed to feel fear at at the upcoming Yom Hadin and be in a serious mood.
This is ridiculous and has turned into a fardreite hippie movement supposedly all l’shem shomayim.
You don’t see real Breslover chasidim at these concerts.
Most of the people at the concert consider themselves to be Breslover Chasidim.
The problem is that there is no real Breslover Rebbe in Uman. He died over 200 years ago.
Without a living leader everyone can do anything and consider themselves a real Chosid.
Better than watching football on erev RH.
Just wondering if Reb Nachman hosted a concert the night before the Yom Hadin? And if anyone at the concert would attend such an event the night before a life changing court case he might have in secular courts.
