Restrictions and enhanced security measures introduced in Uman due to arrival of Hasidim
In Uman, from September 15, in connection with the arrival of Hasidim for the traditional annual pilgrimage, enhanced security measures are being introduced. The Uman City Council has reported this on Facebook.
"Security in Uman: the police are strengthening measures. From Monday, September 15, enhanced security measures related to the traditional annual pilgrimage are being introduced in Uman," the message says.
In particular, a special entry and exit regime is being introduced in the city again. The entry of vehicles will be prohibited in certain areas:
- from the M-30 highway to Derevianka and Horikhova streets;
- from the village of Rodnykivka - to Pavlova street.
Travel will be allowed with increased control in the following directions:
- from the M-30 and M-05 highways - on Derevianka, Internatsionalna, Mykhailivska, Vokzalna, Vyzvolyteliv streets;
- from the villages of Horodetske and Rodnykivka - on Horodetska, Maksyma Zalizniaka and Kyivska streets.
Important: entry to Vyzvolyteliv street is allowed only to Hasidic pilgrims.
It is also reported that local governments have introduced a number of restrictions: the sale of alcohol and pyrotechnics is prohibited, traffic control has been introduced at the entrances to the city, and traffic on certain sections of roads is being regulated.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Israel and Ukraine have agreed on security measures for the visit of tens of thousands of pilgrims arriving in Uman to celebrate Rosh Hashanah.
As a reminder, on August 31, The Times of Israel reported that Ukraine was planning to ban this year's pilgrimage to Uman due to the deteriorating security situation.

Jewish Family Fears London Doctor’s Antisemitism Influenced Their Disabled Son’s Treatment
In London, an investigation has started into a doctor after the family of a disabled Jewish boy uncovered her long trail of antisemitic social media writings, another expression of an ongoing trend of antisemitic bigotry manifesting in medical settings.
Dr. Ellen Kriesels works as a consultant pediatrician at Whittington Health NHS Trust and serves as clinical lead for community pediatrics. She has been suspended pending a formal inquiry, according to British media reports. The family — who remains unnamed — cares for a son who lives with cerebral palsy and multiple other conditions. Members of the boy's family told The Times they were "horrified" that a physician treating him had publicly claimed that "virtually every Jew has some feelings of supremacy" and that "world Jewry" was complicit in "slaughtering Palestinians."
Kriesels attended an anti-Israel rally in London on Sept. 6 carrying a placard that paired the Star of David with words such as "rape," "steal," and "kill." On her X account she alleged that Israel's actions in Gaza proved Jews "slaughter Palestinians precisely because they are not Jewish," while writing that one should understand the Hamas terrorists killed during the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre across southern Israel as "oppressed resistance fighters."
The boy's parents had already grown apprehensive after confronting Kriesels about her choice to wear a pro-Palestinian lanyard during an appointment. They filed a fresh complaint when they discovered she had failed to refer their son for specialist treatment as part of his transition to adult care. They argued the lapse, coupled with her public antisemitism, raised urgent questions about the safety of the patients under her care.
The child's father identified himself as "Brian" but chose not to reveal his last name to The Times.
"I am horrified that according to the logic of this doctor, set out in public statements, that because my paraplegic, non-verbal son is brought up in a Jewish household that he harbors genocidal intentions and believes himself superior," he said. "This is factually impossible and profoundly discriminatory. A professional who publicly expresses such views cannot be regarded as safe to work with vulnerable children or adults. It is deeply concerning that she was permitted to be involved in my son's care."
Whittington Health apologized to the family, saying the doctor was not currently scheduled to work, while the General Medical Council confirmed it had started to review the case. "Antisemitism has no place in health care," a spokesperson said. Britain's health department also condemned the remarks, promising zero tolerance for hate inside the National Health Service.

Ukraine and Israel coordinate security for Hasidic pilgrims in Uman
A security plan has been prepared for Hasidic pilgrims visiting Uman for Rosh Hashanah, according to the Ukrainian Embassy in Israel.
A meeting took place yesterday, September 11, between Israel's Minister of National Security and Knesset member Itamar Ben Gvir and Ukraine's Ambassador to Israel, Yevgen Korniychuk.
A constructive and effective plan was agreed upon. The initiative includes deploying dozens of police officers, paramedics, and volunteers, including members of the ultra-Orthodox community, to ensure the safety and well-being of the tens of thousands of worshippers expected to arrive in Uman for Rosh Hashanah.
As part of the preparations, full security coordination was agreed upon, along with the creation of a special medical and security network in cooperation with Ukraine's Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Moshe Reuven Asman. His teams will operate at border crossings and on-site to guarantee the pilgrims' safety.

Orthodox couple attacked in Venice as antisemitic incidents in Europe raise anxiety for Jews and Israelis
The mayor of Venice has condemned an alleged attack on American Orthodox Jews who said they were targeted by a group that shouted "free Palestine" and then proceeded to slap them.
The American couple, who were reportedly wearing traditional Orthodox clothing, were walking through Venice on Sunday night when the incident took place, according to Italian news agency AGI.
Three of the assailants, who were believed to be of North African origin, were apprehended, with two receiving expulsion orders and a third being deported, according to AGI.
"Venice is and must continue to be an open, welcoming, and safe city, where mutual respect forms the foundation of civil coexistence. The aggression suffered by two American citizens of Jewish faith is a serious and unacceptable act, which I condemn with the utmost firmness," Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said in a post on X

New demands from Moldova complicate Uman agreement
Israel's plans to establish a temporary terminal in Moldova for Breslov Hasidim traveling to Uman are facing difficulties after Chisinau presented new demands.
Israel proposed a budget of 10 million shekels to set up the temporary terminal in Moldova, through which the Hasidim are expected to pass on their way to Rabbi Nachman's grave in Uman for Rosh Hashanah. However, the talks stalled after Moldova added two key requirements.
The new demands include immediate payment prior to the flight dates, as well as leaving the equipment funded by Israel in the country after the event concludes. These conditions complicate the planned agreement and raise concerns on the Israeli side.
In light of the difficulties in negotiations with Moldova, Israeli officials are considering increasing entry through Ukraine via alternative routes, primarily through Romania. This route may require broader coordination with Romanian and Ukrainian authorities.
