My husband and I really want to go but I think I will be very bored on yt if I am the only woman there.

Was anyone there or knows someone that was and can give me more info?

If there are women there where do they congregate? Where do they daven? In which hotel are they?
Thanks

I was there one year. Depends where you’re at. Where I was at there were a handful of other women, but walking in public I put my hood up so as not to attract attention.

It’s only for men. You will barely find women there.

In their rental

The hotels are men only, streets pizza shops etc, music afterwards all packed with men

Might not be the best idea unless you don’t mind staying indoors

I forgot the name, I can try to find out. I didn’t go to shul, just stayed in my spot. Actually I did go to shul once, there was no women’s section lol. It was awkward.

You weren't very bored? I don't have children yet.

So I would have to take a private rental? Not that I mind but where would I find that?

I think the best idea would be to find (at least one) more women that want to come so you should have company. Rosh Hashana in Uman is the men’s time to gain chizzuk, and you don’t want to be the wife shlepping him home because you’re bored.

In Israel Breslov women and their families go to Meron, all the sisters, cousins, friends and families all together with huge women led meals and davening at Rabi Shimon Bar Yochai.

Most women quite enjoy this set up and don't feel the need to be in Uman.

Personally I'd feel very unsafe being in seas of men practically alone.

The place was called PSF. I went with someone I knew, we roomed together (there was one bunk bed room for women and kids. If you PM me or give me an email address I can send you a video of it).

And we met a few other women and hung out with them.
