Currently, believers are having breakfast, praying, dancing, and smelling mint and lemon. In addition, most Hasidim smoke even in pilgrimage areas.

Garbage is collected in the city six times a day. Law enforcement and Israeli rescuers are monitoring security during the celebration.

Nine Israeli police officers are also working in Uman. They are assisting their Ukrainian counterparts and interpreting into Hebrew.

During air raid alerts in Uman, Hassidic pilgrims remain to pray instead of going to shelters. According to locals, the pilgrims pray to God, asking Him to send back to Russia anything Russia launches.
