(a.k.a. אומן ר"ה)
Famed Hollywood director (Not that I ever heard of him, but what do I know? - HT) Paul Mazursky traveled to Uman, Ukraine to make his first feature-length documentary, YIPPEE.
Paul is there as 25,000 Hasidic Jews from around the world come to celebrate Rosh Hashanah as the grave of Rabbi Nachmann. (25,000 already? not too shabby - HT)
(Paul also makes time for some real pleasure, with his usual crowd, although I'm not sure if that happens on Rosh Hashonoh as well. I mean the beer drinking and dancing with non-Chassidim. - HT)
Those that care will notice lots of Lubavitcher Taleisim in the footage, I find that quite compelling. - HT.
The white robes, the chanting? they remind me of -Lehavdil- Mecca.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad really; everyone has this stupid superficial idea of Breslov being a bunch of fools in costumes jumping around smiling & singing all day. If I was a Breslover I would be pretty annoyed by now...

ReplyDeleteYou find the many Lubavitcher taleisim 'compelling'
Compelling of what?
Me thinks you don't know what 'compelling' means.
Yes I do:
ReplyDeleteCompelling - to have a powerful and irresistible effect, influence, etc.
There was a Lubavitch minyan in Uman troughout RH.
