Tomb of Nachman of Breslov

This site holds the tomb of Rabbi Nachman within a complex of Jewish buildings featuring white walls, a central prayer hall, and dedicated spaces for religious services. The entire complex is designed to accommodate spiritual practices and group devotions.

Rabbi Nachman, founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement, chose Uman as his burial place in 1810 following his spiritual leadership. This decision transformed the site into a pilgrimage destination for his followers across the globe.

Thousands of pilgrims gather here during Rosh Hashanah to pray and perform religious rituals, turning the place into a vibrant center of spiritual life. This continuous tradition shapes how people experience and connect with the site throughout the year.

The site welcomes visitors during established hours and provides separate prayer areas for men and women to accommodate different groups. Accommodation options are available for those planning extended stays.

This is the only burial site where Breslov followers maintain a year-round presence for prayer and study without interruption. Their continuous spiritual work at this location has remained unbroken for more than two centuries.
