]]> An Israeli Hasidic man was been beaten by local residents during a pilgrimage to the Ukrainian town of Uman, local police said Wednesday.

Ukrainian police said several people assaulted the pilgrim during a conflict at a shop in Uman. They said the incident is being investigated.

The man who was attacked has a residence permit in Ukraine, according to the United Jewish Community of Ukraine.

Uman is home to the grave of an important Hassidic rabbi, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, and tens of thousands of pilgrims visit the city each September to mark Rosh Hashanah – the Jewish New Year. Some had come to Ukraine before it closed its borders last week amid a surge in COVID-19 infections.

]]> A graffiti image of former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler was found spray-painted on a wall next to the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov last Friday in the Ukrainian town of Uman.

Israel's Ambassador to Ukraine Joel Lion took to Twitter last Friday to condemn the incident, writing that anti-Semites "painted a graffiti of the biggest murderer of Jews in History. #NeverAgain begins by fighting any kind of #Antisemitism as defined by [the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance]."

Lion added that Ukraine "should strongly condemn [the vandalism] and bring the perpetrators to justice."

The graffiti featured a portrait of a bloodied Hitler and a sentence in German: "Reputation is easy to lose and hard to earn."

Local authorities reacted quickly, removing parts of the offensive graffiti within one hour from the ambassador's tweet.

"We welcome the prompt reaction of the #Ukrainian Authorities," Lion said in a follow-up tweet.

Authorities also reportedly apprehended the suspect behind the anti-Semitic incident, who is now facing up to five years in prison.

The grave of Rabbi Nachman, or Nachman of Breslov, founder of the Breslov hassidic movement in Judaism, is a major site for pilgrimage for thousands of his followers from across the globe.
