This is a very important part of the preparations, because during the mass arrival of pilgrims, many situations arise where quick and clear communication is needed between foreigners, the police, first responders, medical personnel, and other services,\u201d noted Iryna Rybnytska.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">According to her, interpreters assist not only with standard organizational matters but also in situations where it is necessary to quickly explain the rules for staying in Ukraine, actions to take during an air raid alert, security screening procedures, or how to contact the relevant services.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">\u201cOur goal is for pilgrims to receive the necessary information in a language they understand, and for Ukrainian services to be able to communicate with them quickly and effectively. This reduces the risk of conflicts and misunderstandings and helps maintain order in the pilgrimage area,\u201d added Iryna Rybnytska.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">During Rosh Hashanah, thousands of Hasidic pilgrims from around the world traditionally arrive in Uman. That is why language support is a vital component of organizing the pilgrimage, especially under martial law and heightened security measures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Translators help pilgrims navigate the rules, seek advice, interact with law enforcement and relevant services, and receive up-to-date information during their stay in Uman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The foundation emphasizes that the work of interpreters is part of a broader support system for pilgrims, which also includes informational materials, a hotline, coordination with Ukrainian authorities, and assistance with organizational matters.<\/p>\n<p>The Charitable Organization \u201cUman Historical and Cultural Center Foundation\u201d continues to work to ensure that the pilgrimage in Uman proceeds as smoothly and safely as possible, while respecting the needs of both pilgrims and the local community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"wpm_excerpt clearfix\"><p>In the Hasidic pilgrimage area in Uman, interpreters have begun working to assist pilgrims in communicating with Ukrainian law enforcement officials, relevant agencies, and representatives of &hellip;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3343,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3344"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3344\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3350,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3344\/revisions\/3350"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/umantravel.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
