QUESTION:
1) What does the Rav think about going to Uman for Rosh HaShanah (according to Rebbi Nachman of Bresslov that only be praying in Uman by his grave will be a true chassid of his)?
ANSWER:
1) Every chassid has to abide by what his Rebbe tells him.
Regarding going to Uman, even for the chassidim of R’ Nachman there is a discussion if he meant only those who live outside Eretz Yisrael, or if he meant that even those in Eretz Yisrael should be in Uman on Rosh HaShanah. As it is known, there are Bresslover Chassidim who don’t go to Uman and they make a gathering in Eretz Yisrael.
But in general, every person needs to know where he davens better and where he will be able to talk more naturally to Hashem, and it is in that place where he should daven.
