At Uman, Rosh Hashanah pilgrims visit the grave of which Hasidic master?

At Uman, Rosh Hashanah pilgrims visit the grave of Nachman of Breslov, the founder of Breslov Hasidism.

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov was born in 1772 and died in 1810. He spent his final years in Uman, then part of the Russian Empire, and was buried there in the old Jewish cemetery. His followers regard gathering at his grave during Rosh Hashanah as a major spiritual practice, known as the Rosh Hashanah kibbutz.

The pilgrimage grew from Nachman’s own insistence that his followers spend the New Year with him. After his death, his closest disciple, Nathan of Breslov, helped continue the gathering at the gravesite. The custom later survived periods of persecution and Soviet restrictions, when foreign visitors could rarely reach Uman.

The other choices are major Hasidic or Jewish figures, but they are associated with different movements and burial sites. Menachem Mendel Schneerson and Shneur Zalman were leaders of Chabad, while Israel Baal Shem Tov is regarded as the founder of Hasidism and is buried in Medzhybizh, not Uman.
