While being a misnagid, I never understood Rosh Hashonna in Uman, I can certainly commend the people who are mamehs being מוסר נפש to go this year. Unlike previous years, where it was a simple few flights and a few days of Yom Tov, this year is over a month commitment to go. Not only do the מתפללים and Chassidim have to spend long hours on a flight and in airports wearing masks, but they will have to leave next week and stay in quarantine in Ukraine for two weeks before ראש השנה then another two weeks when they come home! This is an unprecedented level of commitment to Yiddishkeit and may we be zoche to see משיח this year in their זכות.
