During the Jewish New Year, police removed some 160 passengers from planes bound for Uman, Ynet learned Wednesday.
Some 22,000 people made the annual pilgrimage from Israel to Rabbi Nachman of Breslov's gravesite in the Ukrainian city over the holiday.
Ninety-one of the passengers who were taken off the planes are wanted for questioning by Military Police for allegedly dodging army service. The rest are involved in cases related to Israel's Execution Office.
In an unrelated incident, two young men returning from Uman Monday night allegedly threw their handbags at the Ukrainian flight attendants, demanded alcoholic beverages and even smoked on the plane.
The flight attendants, some of whom were injured in the incident, filed a complaint with Ben Gurion Airport police. The young men were held for questioning and later released, but they will apparently be indicted.
Another six Israelis who traveled to Uman were detained for holding fake passports.Eli Senyor contributed to the report.

the pot smoking,convorting with harlots ?
Who is the presiding Rabbi at Uman during
Rosh Hashanah ?
It appears to be Hugh Heffener of Play-

What's Israel's "Execution Office?"
Are they in charge of executing goyim, Hilonim, or both?
Moreover, what the heck were these Breastloving Hasidim doing with handbags? I didn't know that Uman was a gay mecca. So I guess the Breastloving Hasidim had a thing for male boobs.

Did any women go on this gay breastlover holiday jaunt? Or just men and little boys? That's all you see in every photo.
For those Ukrainians who aren't antisemitic, these past few days ought to change their minds.

This is all Tzhal's fault.
If the army would have provided alochol
prostitutes, whores, skanks, sluts, and an
assortment of illict drugs available for these Breslovers this unfortunate incident could have been avoided.

MM3, that is very true.
As always, it is someone else's fault. It is never the fault of any frummer yid.

Thats funny. Usually you have to show discharge papers along with your passport or you dont see that airplane.
Especially when you look youthfull enough that maybe should be in fatigues and not going on holiday.

National Service is a good idea. I spent two years in the Australian Navy in my early adult years. Also did three years of Army Cadets at school. These draft dodgers look like they wanted to party like it was 1999 in Uman rather than serve their country.
