Welcome to our 5773 Inn Uman Rosh Hashannah w/Rabbi Lazer Brody gathering!

Breslev Israel is back for our third year at the Inn Uman. Enjoy all of the wonderful benefits of staying with us, such as daily shiurim and spiritual guidance by Rabbi Lazer Brody in a private, intimate atmosphere. We are Uman’s premier location, with a brand new building equipped with 24-hour security and comfortable, American-style beds and an en-suite kitchen.

Enjoy our beautiful, state-of-the-art mikvah, which is only available to guests of Inn Uman. We are also pleased to offer to our guests the finest glatt-kosher chef-cooked meals in Uman, as well as 24-hour unlimited tea, coffee, and cake service. 

We are also working on securing a private appearance and lecture by Rav Shalom Arush shlit”a, which will be translated by Rabbi Brody! Those of us that attended last year tremendously enjoyed this unexpected gift!

Breslev Israel is doing our best to ensure another comfortable and spiritually-enlightening Rosh Hashana for all of our guests.

List of suggested items to pack for Uman

Even though we are providing for the main meals of the Chag – the Rosh

Hashana meals and Shabbat – there are people with children and the before / after days to plan for.

We have limited refrigerator space available for you – whatever you would

like to store or freeze, bring the items in throw away plastic, (containers ,

bags or foil) with your name and room number on it – when you throw

away either leftovers or storage bins – make sure it gets to the outside

trash bin. When you leave – DO NOT leave food in the fridge / freezer.

Better to bring as little as possible items that spoil quickly. You CAN leave

all non spoilable food items you want to donate rather than take them back, there are Jews that live in Uman all year round.

OR just buy a few things once you arrive – there IS what to buy, everything!

Food items to bring if needed:

• Canned items (tuna, canned fruits, corrn, pickles etc. (Don’t forget

the can opener or buy pop tops).

• Matzah / crackers

• Small plastic jar of peanut butter / jelly, wrapped, so not to crack

• Dried fruits and snacks – we don’t eat nuts on Rosh Hashana

• Instant Oatmeal / cereal bars

• Hard salami – NOT sliced lasts a long time

• Fruits that will not spoil in transit, such as apples and oranges

• Cookies, brownies (mezonot that won’t crumble)

• Chewing gum and other sweets – hard candies don’t give kids

• Plastic cutlery, cups, plates, napkins

• Toilet paper / tissue, (we do provide, bring a little extra just in case)

Clothing

The Ukraine is a northern country and the weather in Uman during

September/October can be cold and wet and you will be thankful you

brought rain / winter gear. You can always take layers off. Our Retreat

Guest house is close to the Tzion, so long walks to get “there” won’t be

necessary, but you will want to walk around anyway – when travelling with

children, even if you don’t need a sweater and rain coat, bring one for them.

Check out the forecast before you leave so as not to take unnecessary

items – we will also send weather updates:

• Regular weekday clothes

• Rubbers or boots

It’s a good idea to make your own detailed list, so you can check off each

Don’t hesitate to bring any other items that will add to your comfort on the

trip – just remember to keep it light. Don’t over bring clothing; don’t bring

glass or spoilable items of food. Stay focused on the purpose of your trip

and you will be able to get the very most out of it!

Valuables, you will be staying in a closed environment with a guard, and

people in your room are all respected and like minded professional people

like yourself, nevertheless, we need to inform you to bring valuables at your

own risk, as we take no responsibility for “loosing them”, and we have no

central safe.

Fathers travelling with small children – bring their favorite toy, book,

sleeping blanket, treats or whatever he needs, (and a secret note from

Mommy in the suitcase helps!)

P.S. Thank you Rabbi Chaim Kramer for most of this list!
