Shavua Tov!

The Rav put out a couple of important messages about getting to Uman for 5787, which I am translating below.

August 2, 2026, 26th Av, 5786

Message #1 from the Rav, about Uman 5787:

All the geula, in order that there won’t be a war, that they won’t launch drones here, that they won’t suddenly close the Kotel for us – all this only depends upon Uman.

It only depends upon the holy Tziyun.

A million people want to get to Rabbenu, mamash, a million people. And there will be 200,000 flights, that will make roundtrips, 10 roundtrips a day. And like this, you can bring a million people, and all of Uman will be vacated.

==

When we were the va’ad in Uman, there was a plan to evacuate the whole of Uman for three days.

The whole of Uman is only three days, from Thursday night until Sunday night. Friday, Shabbat and Sunday – it’s possible to clear out the whole of Uman for three days.

The Rebbe said, you have to come to the Tziyun, mamash, because only when you come to the Tziyun, then the Rebbe can work all the tikkunim. All the tikkunim are only done at the Tziyun HaKadosh.

==

There, all the tikkunim of all the incarnations from Adam HaRishon are done. Every person was part of the sin of Adam HaRishon, and was part of the sin of the sale of Yosef.

Therefore, we need to always know that we need to travel to Rabbenu, to travel to Rabbenu at any cost!

==

The Rebbe – Rabbi Natan said, I will go to the Rebbe, even if I had to walk on knives!

Even on knives!

A person needs to be in Uman with all of Am Yisrael, no-one should be missing.

“They counted the number of their army, and no-one was missing.”[1]

MESSAGE #2:

August 9th, 2026, 3rd Elul, 5786

Everyone without exception must come to the gathering in Hevron, which will open the path the Uman.

We come to open the gates of Uman, also for the Rav, and also for all of AM Yisrael. In the merit of the prayers in Hevron, all the gates will open.

Everyone has to come to Uman, this is the sole tikkun, there is no other tikkun. There is no alternative. Not Jerusalem.

The Rebbe said only Uman! And not Jerusalem.

All those who talk about [staying in] Jerusalem [on Rosh Hashana], they are making a grave mistake, and they will be judged on it – that they think it’s possible to hold the kibbutz in Jerusalem. There is no such thing!

==

R Levi Yitzhak [Bender] wanted all the time to travel to Uman.

But in the end, he didn’t want to travel on a forged passport, because that is a lifetime in prison, or even getting shot.

Everyone should register today for Uman, it doesn’t matter how much it costs. In the merit of this, everyone will be millionaires, and everyone will get out of their debts, and have apartments.

People don’t have apartments!

==

A person needs to know that the tikkun is only Uman.

All those who are confused, they will be judged on this. Korach was also confused, they also made a golden calf, because Moshe didn’t come down.

We know that he came down, but they didn’t know that he came down. Regarding this [the sin of the Golden Calf], I can still forgive them for it, they were bewildered. Moshe wasn’t there, “arise, and make for us a god who will walk before us.”[2]

They brought down the ox from the merkava (heavenly chariot)…

==

But here [regarding Uman], there is nothing to be confused about.

Here, R Levi Yitzhak would speak day and night – only Uman!!!

Because he was the main leader, he founded Breslov and he brought 20 guys from Ponovezh, and this is how he began to lay the new foundations for Breslov, after it was almost wiped off the face of the earth.

==

So now, a person needs to know, only Uman!!!

The Rebbe said, only the place where the Tzaddik is hidden / buried. I can do everything.

The Rebbe said, I’m even able to make the goyim do teshuva. That’s what’s written.

So for us, he can’t make us do teshuva?!?!

Come to me, you’ll see so much mesirut nefesh [is required]!

==

You sit at home, eating schnitzels, cholent, bourekas and kreplach…

On erev Yom Kippur, we eat kreplach, also on Purim. On erev Yom Kippur, you eat all the delicacies – chickens, hamburgers.

And then, you want a tikkun?!

What?!

Do something! Travel  and cross borders.

==

Now, the harder it is, the more vessels you will have [to hold] the or ein sof.[3]

Hashem sees that you used to come easily; you got on a plane, and within two hours you were there. So once, Shuvu Banim arranged a flight – they arranged it direct to Uman, mamash, all of Shuvu Banim were there, within two hours they were in Uman. Within half an hour, they were already at the Tziyun.

They came back and travelled, as if they enjoying an afternoon stroll on Shabbat.

So the Rebbe saw, and the Rebbe wasn’t able to do the tikkunim!

If they don’t create vessels to receive, [if they don’t travel] with some more mesirut nefesh! [Like] travelling during Corona. During Corona they slept in the sadot[4], so now, everyone needs to know that the Tikkun is also in Uman.

==

Anyone who confuses you, and tells you stories, you should know that he will be judged on this – and also, you will be judged on it.

The Rebbe does not excuse this.

Anyone who says that Hashem overlooks [sins], he too will be ‘overlooked’. [A quote from Chazal]

Hashem doesn’t back down on anything.

==

If the Rav doesn’t manage to get there [to Uman] – this is also a tikkun. A great tikkun.

But the Rav travels, the Rav tries to cross the borders. I passed through [the last time] and they made me go back.

We were already by the Rebbe a million times. We travelled when they said to us each time, tomorrow, you’re going to Siberia!

[Each time they said] ah, it’s you?! The same person?! You should know that next time, you are going to Siberia. Next time, it will be Siberia!

I told them, you’ll be going to Siberia, not me! Everything will rebound upon you.

“Their swords will enter their own hearts and their bows will be broken.”[5]

==

Everyone should go to Uman, without questions. At all.

And only Hevron opens the way. The trip to Hevron is in order to arrive at Uman. Everyone has to go [to Hevron]. We begin the Ma’ariv prayers at 8pm, and by 11, everyone will be free to go.

Translated from Rasisei Tal, # 82.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] See Parshat Mattos, 31:48-49: “The commanders of the thousands in the legions, the officers of the thousands and the officers of the hundreds, approached Moses. They said to Moses, ‘Your servants took a census of the men of war under our command, and not a man of us is missing.”

[2] Shmot 32:1.

[3] I.e. it’s the difficulties of the journey, dafka, that create the spiritual vessels required to ‘catch’ more of the blessings and tikkunim available in Uman on Rosh Hashana.

[4] The word means both ‘airports’, and also ‘fields’. In the year when the kibbutz in Uman was effectively cancelled because of Covid, in 2020, many people were caught in no-mans-land between Belarus and Ukraine and slept in fields for 2-3 nights. While others were stuck in airports, and also refused entry.
