Shalev Levi fears heaven more than he fears Earth. He is a Haredi one of the God-fearing, as strictly Orthodox Jews are called in Hebrew and he has just checked in at Tel Avivs Ben Gurion airport, en route to Moldova, to then cross by road to Uman, in central Ukraine. There he will join more than a thousand ultra-Orthodox Jews who are already in the city to fulfill the annual tradition, started two centuries ago, of celebrating the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, at the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, the founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement
