Hundreds of Jerusalem residents gathered this week to commemorate the anniversary of the passing of Rabbi Mordechai of Ribnitz, known as the Rebbe of Monsey. During a commemorative meal, a telephone was placed open near the Rebbe's grave in Monsey, New York. This allowed the assembled crowd to pray and speak "quietly" across continents, directly to the Rebbe's resting place. The event was described as a spiritual connection bridging geographical distance.
