On the night of Saturday, July 20, unknown people attacked the Hasidic tent camp, which is under construction in Uman, Cherkasy Oblast, brutally beat up a security guard and stole a safe box containing $50,000 from the office building, the Segodnya newspaper reported.

“We are very disappointed by this incident. Most annoying thing is that they robbed the poor: the money was to go to accommodate those pilgrims who do not have enough money to rent an apartment or a house. A camp was to be finished and food bought from this money. But pilgrims will still come because this is their holy place,” Vice President of the International Charitable Foundation named after Rebbe Nachman of Breslov Shimon Buskila told the newspaper.
