About 5,000 Hasidic pilgrims have already arrived in Uman, Cherkasy region to celebrate the New Year according to the Jewish calendar (Rosh Hashanah), which this year will take place from 6 to 8 September, according to the Wikka Cherkasy publication.
“This year, pilgrims travel to Ukraine in advance, because last year, due to enhanced anti-epidemic measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus, not everyone was able to attend the celebration of Rosh Hashanah in Uman,” the message says.
According to the newspaper, head of the State Migration Service in Cherkasy region Ivan Shapran paid a working visit to Uman and coordinated with the staff of the Uman department of the institution further steps to prevent and identify violators of migration legislation.
Israeli citizens can use a visa-free travel regime while on the territory of Ukraine for up to 90 days within 180 days.
