Tonight is Erev RoshHashana .. the beginning of the Jewish new year holiday.
Jews believe Rosh Hashanah represents the anniversary of either the creation of the World the creation of man, Since our days begin at Sundown, tonite is when the shofar, ram’s horn, will be blown.
30,000 Hasidic Jews from around the world are expected in Uman, Ukraine this week to celebrate Rosh Hashana at the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. Rabbi Nachman died in 1810. During his lifetime, thousands of Hasidim traveled to be with him for Rosh Hashanas. On the last Rosh Hashana of his life, Rebbe Nachman stressed to his followers the importance of being with 
him for that holiday in particular and an annual Rosh Hashana pilgrimage to his gravesite began.
This year, however, Uman residents have complained that the pilgrims treat them disrespectfully. and supporters of the nationalist party Svoboda, or Liberty, demanded that Hasidic Jews not be allowed to gather. Protesters at the rally shouted “Ukraine for Ukrainians.”
Some things are eternal.
