description: "Yechiel Michel Dorfman was a rabbi and leader of the Breslov community in Jerusalem, Israel after serving as the de facto head of the Breslover Hasidim living in post-Stalin Russia. Due to his persistence and planning, the annual Breslover Rosh Hashana kibbutz at the grave of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov in Uman, Ukraine, which began in 1811, continued in secret despite the Communist ban on religious gatherings."
