And behold, when Moharan"as zatzal came to Nemyrov in the month of Elul, and the days drew near to the holy days of Rosh Hashana — which Moharan"as za'l needed to travel to Uman for Rosh Hashana, as was always our custom: to gather in Uman during the holy days of Rosh Hashana, to pray at Admor's tziyun on Erev Rosh Hashana, and to pray together during the holy days of Rosh Hashana at his holy beis midrash — it distressed Moharan"as greatly: how would he travel to Uman for Rosh Hashana without a bilet, and especially since he was under police supervision? And through G-d's kindness He arranged circumstances so that he would receive a bilet in Nemyrov before the order not to issue him a bilet reached Nemyrov.

And Moharan"as zatzal traveled from Nemyrov to Uman for Rosh Hashana of the year 5596 (1836). When the opponents learned of this, the informers of Breslov prevailed upon the gardintshe of Breslov to write to the gardintshe of Uman that a certain man who was under police supervision — who had no right to leave his home — was found in his city, in the Breslov synagogue; he should immediately send him via soldiers during the holy days of Rosh Hashana to Nemyrov. And so it was: the gardintshe of Uman immediately sent soldiers to search for Moharan"as on Erev Rosh Hashana; and Moharan"as was at that time at the holy tziyun. The soldiers took him from the holy tziyun and led him before the gardintse. And Moharan"as za'l was at that time absorbed in his holy thoughts which he had during Erev Rosh Hashana at the holy tziyun, and his face was radiantly luminous. And when the gardinitshe saw him, he recognized that he was not of the criminal sort; and also the wealthy and important men of the city prevailed with the gardinitshe, and they released him on bail and promised that immediately after Rosh Hashana he would travel home. And through G-d's compassion he released him; and he emerged free and was saved from this as well. He traveled home after Rosh Hashana to Nemyrov by way of Ladizhin; and in Ladizhin Moharan"as was in great danger from the many stones that were flung and thrown at the inn where he lodged. But meanwhile another trouble arose which served as a remedy for this trouble — namely, the local official came and took him into custody, and through this he was saved from being killed; he held him for approximately a day and night, and through a miracle he was saved from the captivity, as brought from this in Alim LiTerufah in the letter of the year 5596.
