The opening as it read in 2010
Ohel The Ohel is the name of a religious shrine in Queens, New York , to which thousands of people make a pilgrimage each year.1The last Lubavitcher Rebbe , Menachem Mendel Schneerson and his father-in-law Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn (the two most recent leaders of the Chabad-Lubavitch school of Hasidic Judaism ) are interred there.2The gravesites of the previous Rebbes of Chabad are also referred to as ohels . Many Lubavitchers visit the shrine especially on the anniversary of Schneerson's death on the Hebrew calendar . Visitors have a tradition of writing prayers on small pieces of paper which are then torn up. The presence of large numbers of pilgrims, night-time visitations, and the build-up of Chabad homes and facilities in the area has resulted in tension with the surrounding, largely African-American, community. The Ohel is located at Montefiore Cemetery (Old Springfield Cemetery) in Cambria Heights .3
