Every year thousands of Jewish – Assideans from all over the world come to Ukraine, Uman city to celebrate New Year in the place where lived their idol Nachman. The locals don’t know whether they should rejoice (cause they can rent out houses and boost sales) or cry (cause crowds and rubbish are never good).

First schmucks!!
The children are so cute…
The children are adorable.
My mind was filled with dirty jokes as I went through these photos. but anyway nice pics.
Looks like a sausage fest.
LOL
More religious fruitcakes that believe in imaginary friends.
What’s up with the creepy hairstyles? I could never the side burn ponytails. They’d always be getting in your soup.
Stop all religions. Now!
What a bunch of scary people! no hygiene. no women. stinky clothes! what a freak fest. you should have posted the pictures of these same men veiled as they walked through the Kiev airport. modesty required they did not glaze upon a woman. my sanity requires i only gaze on hot Ukrainian women.
Neat pictures, neat perspective.
these people are ultraortodox not jewish
most jewish people see them as fruitcakes (me included)
we need a post of the life in the beaches of tel aviv so you can see how real jewish people look like
well said =]
though i’m not Jewish but i do live in Israel
You’ve hit the nail on the head right there, not just about Jews but about Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc. It’s always the weirdest and most extreme element of any religion- or any group in society for that matter- that end up becoming the stereotype for the larger group that they represent. That’s why people see these guys as being representative of Jews, Bible-bashing evangelists as being typical Christians and screaming Wahabists and burka-clad women as typical Muslims. Stereotypes are always based on the worst that a group has to offer.
BS”D
You see us as freaks until you get sick or land in trouble and then come running to us for help. Then you cry to borrow a wheelchair or get treatment abroad at a subsidized price, or for our rabbis and activists to get your loved one out of jail in Asia where he has been arrested for selling drugs.
And we keep helping, not because we like you personally, nor do we care what you say about us, but because this is what G-d told us we should be doing.
One of the jews in the pictures looked red haired.
as a group they seem to be way over concerned about their hair……very weird. Shouldn’t they be more worried about their hearts and minds?
Where are all women?
(Psss, I had religion class today. When my teacher asked us where to find jews, one of my classmate answered the question with “in every glue-stick made in the 40ies”.)
I see Weird Al in there. : )
אחלה של תמונת
מוות לערבית
ושנה טובה לכולם
We have to kill all the Goyim of the world
What are you nuts?
דושבג
You’ll die first.
Look I got pigeon nest on my head.
That is just naaaaaasty.
what filth.
Overpopulation. Not good… Nature will take care of things in the future.
This is a re-creation of what it would look like if the Florida Panthers will ever win the Stanley Cup.
I was thinking that looked like the Stanley Cup.
I wondered what the trophy was for. I could only assume I was looking at photos from this year’s “Extreme Hat World Championships” and it was awarded to the winning team.
oh love the pig tails
This photographer was able to capture the jews their natural state before they became shape-shifted into the form of a goat. Their womens must be at home laying eggs.
…well, at least they look happy
goodness! that is one HUGE mess they leave behind. holy cow!
sometimes i wonder if the religious ferver that people experience is because of really feeling good and holy or getting addicted to the idea of the religion itself.
the guy holding the kid looks like a villian. If i saw him in a dark alley i would pass out. what a scary looking guy.
Why jewish society is not tolerant?They are being hated by other communities on earth due to their extreme and strange attitude against them.
New York has moved to Kiev?
These people are Hasidic jews. One of the visible marks of Hasidim are their dangly front-hair things.
Also most large gatherings of humans cause a mess.
While their customs do appear a bit weird, let’s give them respect for being fellow humans.
black jews in Ukraine….that was original. What next one legged Irish dwarves in new York? wtf!
The majority of you are anti-Semites, bigots and haters. Different people have different customs and believes. While most of the world are worshiping sex, drugs, alcohol and money, these people are praying to G-d, visiting the gravesite of a holy man, praying and you sit here to judge, their hair, their dancing, their color… As far as the mess, well their annual visit to Uman bring to that side of the world millions of dollars, money that they couldn’t make in two years. Allowing them to lead more comfortable lives. So what if they have to clean up after that week? its part of what they are being paid for. A sports stadium doesn’t look much different after a 2 hour game. I guess its hard to be tolerant when you don’t have knowledge, when you don’t learn and read about different cultures. To the photographer: these photos are amazing. You depicted the joy they feel and the lack of comfort they are willing to endure in order to be together and pray together. Wished your viewers were a bit more intellectuals, learned and tolerant people.
Those assemblies look like a fire marshall’s nightmare, especially with the worship candles.
the opium of the people
Die Jews !
Where do I get me one of those awesome go-kart-tire Fur Hat
I look exactly like the guy with the red beard and furry hat with the extra long payot (ear-locks). Maybe I DO have some Juddaism flowing through my veins!
Religion..a mental parasite.
Imagine where we would be had we given up all this superstition..and hatred,racism,misogyny that comes with it.
Read Dawkins The God Delusion and Hitchens God is not great
Maybe you will wake up..But I guess thats too much to wish for. Religious brainwashing beginning from childhood is a mental disfiguring not easy to get rid off.
