Thousands of Israelis Visit Lubavitcher Rebbe's Ohel in New York
Young emissaries from the Chabad-Lubavitch movement are actively encouraging Israeli tourists visiting New York to include a stop at the Ohel, the resting place of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, and the movement's central headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. These tours, conducted in Hebrew, offer visitors a glimpse into the Rebbe's private room and the main study hall.
The initiative aims to connect Israeli visitors with the spiritual heart of the Chabad movement, providing what participants describe as "a moment of holiness within the Big Apple." The tours have seen thousands of Israelis participate, highlighting a growing trend of religious and spiritual tourism among Israelis abroad. The emissaries facilitate the visits, offering explanations and context about the significance of the site within Hasidic Judaism.
