Why are we really in Uman? A talk from the heart, given on Erev Rosh Hashanah 5787 at the Heichal HaTorah in Uman by Nachman Frid. Rebbe Nachman said: "Davened or not, slept or not, ate or not, just be by me on Rosh Hashanah." Why? Because the Rebbe is building something bigger than we can understand, and each of us was chosen to be part of it, with our kedushah and our tzimtzum, our strengths and our weaknesses.
