By ruling out Wednesday and Friday, the Sages prevented Yom Kippor and Shabbos from falling out adjacent to each other. Since Yom Kippor has the same stringencies as Shabbos regarding moving dead bodies, if a person were to pass away, his body would remain untouched for a two day period during which it would start to decompose, disgracing the dead. | By ruling out Wednesday and Friday, the Sages prevented Yom Kippor and Shabbos from falling out adjacent to each other.

A large percent of the travelers are Breslov Hasidim but practically every Jewish group and location has members that join the trip. This tradition was started by Rabbi Nachman himself during his life time and it was continued by his main disciple, Rabbi Nason of Nimrov after he passed away. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain Rosh Hashana Uman pilgrimage seems to be growing by the year. |
