More than 50,000 people from around the world waited patiently on the line this week to visit the Ohel in Queens, N.Y., the resting place of the Lubavitcher Rebbe—Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory—in honor of the 23d anniversary of his passing on the third day of the Jewish month of Tammuz (Gimmel Tammuz),
Throughout the year, hundreds of thousands of people gather at the Rebbe’s Ohel. They come at all times of the day and night from throughout the world, and represent different religious backgrounds, affiliations and groups. In addition to petitions for blessing written at the site, millions of letters from around the world are sent via email, fax and to be delivered in person for the Rebbe’s guidance and intervention On High, in the age-old tradition of written prayer petitions at our holiest sites.
