UMAN, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 26: Orthodox Jewish pilgrims perform tashlikh, a Jewish atonement ritual, at the bank of a lake formed by the Umanka River September 26, 2022 in Uman, Ukraine. Thousands of Hasidic pilgrims, mostly men, arrived in Uman to mark the new year, which began at sundown yesterday. Uman contains the burial site of a revered 18th-century rabbi, Nachman of Breslav, and in a typical year might see tens of thousands of pilgrims for Rosh Hashanah. Fewer are expected this year, amid warnings from Israeli and Ukrainian officials to not travel. (Photo by Byron Smith/Getty Images)
