An Israeli man was killed in a car accident in Ukraine on Thursday morning, while heading back to Israel after the Jewish new year.
The collision, between a minibus and bus, occurred some 70 kilometers (43.5 miles) from Uman.
The man was identified as 45-year-old Avraham Levi, a father of ten from the central city of Bet Shemesh.
“With the help of other paramedics and the Uman clinic staff, we performed CPR at the scene of the accident on one of the passengers, who was critically injured, but unfortunately, after the resuscitation efforts, his death was declared at the scene,” a United Hatzalah medic said.

BDE So sad!
Please note that this man is originally from Boro Park and his wife from Williamsburgh. It is a terrible tragedy nontheless.
The gedoylim said not to go to Uman for R”H, bifrat not from Eretz Yisroel.
Why don’t people listen???
Because people have their own gedolim they listen to. BTW which gedolim said not to go? I don’t know of any. The holy site of Rav Nachman zt”l is equally holy to other gravesites klal yisroel visit.
You’re talking stupidity. Are you insinuating that this yungerman died because he went to Uman, but if he would of stayed in his own neighborhood, he would of lived?! That’s mamesh apikursis! What about the Yid that was hit and killed by a car walking in West Palm Beach on Yom Tov? Do you espouse the same dog hewey?! What about Meron? What about Surfside?
Come on! you can’t be this narrow minded.
