Preparations are underway at the Tziyun of Rav Nachman of Breslov ZT”L in Uman ahead of Purim. Every year hundreds are present for Purim and the hunt begins for megillos.
This year, for the first time, a quantity of megillos Esther were donated in memory of R’ Yosef Chai Tuvol z”l, who died in the serious vehicular accident near Breslov in the Ukraine upon returning of the tziyun. It is pointed out that in recent years, Yosef Chai was at the tziyun for Purim too.

Aside from being yotzeh the great mitzvah of “ad shelo yadah”, which some of the Nachmanites are careful to observe year-round, what is the connection between Rav Nachman and Purim?? If I recall, neis Purim, Mordechai, Esther and the whole megillah were about 1300 KM away in Persia not Uman.
