Group Of Drunk Shofer-Blowing Passengers Cause 3 Hour Delay On Flight To Uman
A flight from Israel to Ukraine was delayed on Tuesday, 17 Elul, as a group of eight people heading to Uman were removed from the flight after creating a significant disturbance before boarding.
The Ukraine International Airlines flight to was scheduled to take off from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv at 3:00PM, enroute to Kiev, but was delayed for three hours.
According to reports, the group had created a scene at the airport; playing, singing, shouting wildly and blowing shofars, while holding a bottle of Arak whiskey.The group of eight arrived at the entrance to the plane, and two of them were apparently drunk. According to reports, one of them complained of feeling ill, prompting the flight crew to refuse to permit them to board. Another member of the group began cursing and confronting the crew.
An airport manager summoned police, and the disorderly bunch physically assaulted police too. The plane’s crew, including the pilots who left their positions when they heard the uproar, asked the police to take the passenger and his friends off the plane.
Compounding the problem, due to the fact that these passengers were removed from the plane, their suitcases also needed to be be removed. The unloading process took a long time, causing the flight to take off about three hours later.
“Every year there are many incidents with passengers traveling to Uman,” a senior official at Ben-Gurion Airport told Ynet. He said there are many people who want to go to Uman for Rosh Hashana and come to the airport without tickets, asking for ‘handouts’ from other passengers. Quite a few of them arrive at the flight at the last minute as if “they were on the bus.”
The official added “there are passengers who arrive to the plane drunk, or even drugged; and there are those who arrive with plastic bags instead of suitcases.”
It is important to note that for Rosh Hashana, tens of thousands of people arrive at Uman, most of whom behave in a proper manner, but naturally the few cases attract attention and cause an unfortunate Chilul Hashem.
In another story published on YWN on Wednesday, a travel agent in Israel defrauded THOUSANDS out of their money – handing them fake tickets to Uman. Read that story here.

I THINK THE BRESLEV AUTHORITIES SHOULD INTERVIEW THEM BEFORE THEY COME TO UNMAN, AND NOT ALLOW EVERYBODY TO COME.
NOT EVERYBODY WHO GROWS LONG PIOUS AND PUTS ON A CAPEL AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES A BRESLEV CHOSID.
Drinking and flying never mix! I am surprised they have set off already for Uman. My husband and sons are going next week.
Ha ha, I just read the whole article. It is a bit funny, such as passengers turn up for the flight with plastic bags instead of suitcases!

THERE ARE LOTS OF NORMAL PEOPLE WHO GO, BUT IF YOU HAVE BEEN THERE LIKE ME, YOU WILL SEE THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF DEPRESSED NOT NORMAL PEOPLE WHO GO THERE AS WELL.
THE AUTHORITIES SHOULD NOT LET ALL PEOPLE GO.
I went a decade ago and didn’t like it much. Now they have made it more civilised and built hotels, etc.

BY BRESLOV WOMEN DO NOT GO FOR ROSH HASHANA TO UMAN.
THERE IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT CHASADIM.
THE PARTNERSHIP OF MEN AND WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER TO BETTER YOUR CARICATURE AND BECOMING NEARER TO G-D AS WE UNDERSTAND IT IN YIDDISHKEIT TO DAY.
THAT IS WHAT G-D WANTS FROM YIDEN LIVE TOGETHER AND AT THE SAME TIME THINK OF HASHEM.
THEY LOOK AT A WIFE AS A DESSIRE FROM A MEN, AND CONTROLLING YOURSELF.
THEY ONLY NEED A WIFE AS A DESSIRE AND TO HOLD YOURSELF BACK.
IN MY LIFE THIS IS NOT SO, I LOVE MY WIFE ( THIS IS A MENTAL LOVE AS SHE IS DEAD ) WHEN SHE WAS A LIVE, AND AT THE SAME TIME I LOVED G-D WITH HER, THIS BROUGHT ME NEAR TO G-D, AND GAVE ME GOOD CHILDREN, WE LOVED EACH OTHER COMPLETELY AS IT WAS LOVING G-D AT THE SAME TIME.
MOST OF THESE PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE BY LOVING YOUR PARTNER AT THE SAME.
THEY THINK THAT BY CONTROLLING THERE SEX DESIRE (WHICH THEY CAN NOT DO ) KEEPING A WAY FROM THERE WIVES THEY WILL LOSE THERE SEX DESIRE AND BECOME HOLY, THIS IS NOT SO THEY ONLY CAUSE ( OF WHICH THERE A LOT OF MARRIAGE BREAKDOWNS ) OR OF ONE PARTNER MOT LIKING THE OTHER.
