Ohel (grave)

Wikipedia's first sentence called it “structure built over a grave as a sign of prominence of the person buried within”. Today it says “structure built around a jewish grave as a sign of prominence of the deceased”. The one-line description Wikipedia serves to search engines and AI systems read “File:Ohel Leżajsk 01.jpg Ohel of Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk in Leżajsk , Poland The ohel of the "Seer of Lublin" on the Old Jewish Cemetery in Lublin Wooden”. It now reads “Structure built around a Jewish grave The ohel of the "Seer of Lublin" on the Old Jewish Cemetery in Lublin Wooden”.

The opening as it read in 2020

Ohelim cover the graves of some (but not all) Hasidic Rebbes , important rabbis, tzadikim , prominent Jewish community leaders, and biblical figures. Typically a small masonry building, an ohel may include room for visitors to pray, meditate, and light candles in honor of the deceased.
