The line between piety and insanity is a very thin one.
For some people....For others it's more obvious...
The International Red Cross has arrived at the border of Belarus and Ukraine, where there are hundreds of Breslover Chassisim camping out as they try to go to Uman for Rosh Hashanah. The Red Cross has brought the hundreds of people food as they have nothing to eat. There are little children as young as young as 4 years old in the group. @Dan

There are hundreds of Breslover Chassidim at the borders of Belarus, all without food and sleeping on the ground. There are many hungry, cold and tired children among the crowd.
Is this with the ok of Breslover Rabbanim?

Be that as it may, this is many miles away from that line.
For me and you, yes. But when you're raised on Rebbe and stories of mesiras nefesh for the cause, without any hint of nuance, the line is much closer than you'd like to think.
Israel’s interior minister Arye Deri sent a letter to Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky requesting him to allow the Breslev Chasidim waiting at the border of Belarus to be allowed in to Ukraine so they can spend Rosh Hashanah in Uman.
Definitely had some type of prearranged "arrangement", although I'm not certain precisely which "arrangement".Have some people heading out tonight, so will have another DP.
