Israel has been making covert efforts to bring the remains of the venerated late Rebbe Nachman from Uman, Ukraine, to Israel.
Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely instructed the Israeli ambassador to Ukraine Eliav Belotzercovsky to raise the issue with the appropriate officials in Kyiv half a year ago, Hotovely’s spokeswoman Lena Bakman told The Jerusalem Post on November 6.
