I Admire Their Faith

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
The Breslavers working to go to Uman despite the pandemic and all the challenges that come along with it (such as closed borders) has really been an interesting ordeal and a real curiosity.
As weird as the whole scene is, I admire their level of faith and determination. I am not sure what the faith is in, Rebbe Nachman or God or something else, but they believe in something so powerfully they are willing to put themselves on the line to go to Uman to daven near Rebbe Nachman's grave. Some have been sitting in fields and forests for days or weeks trying to sneak over the border, trying to swim through rapdi rivers across borders undetected. Some have sat in jail for their attempts. Bribes have been offered. Some take flights to various countries to try to get in to Uman in a roundabout way and they know the chances are high they will get turned around and sent back. They are very determined and they have total faith that this is what they need to do.
I might not agree with them, but I admire their faith.
I also admire the people who tell us exactly what God wants at this time. Why God sent the pandemic. What God wants us to change. Who God is showing that God is really the boss rather than this leader or that leader. I don't know if they are right or wrong, but I admire the faith they have and the belief they have that they know exactly what God is thinking and doing and planning for us.
