In this episode, I recount my visit to one of the most magical, spiritual, holy places in the world - the Ohel - the burial site of the Rebbe in Queens, New York.

You will find out how to prepare for a visit, what to expect and what to do step-by-step once you get there, as well as what makes this place a holy site for Jews all over the world.

You don't have to be Jewish to visit the Ohel, which is open 24/7 and welcomes people regardless of their religion and from all walks of life.

You will learn about prayers and psalms recited at the burial site, and various Jewish customs.

Mentions:

Ohel Chabad Lubavitch

The Rebbe - Menachem Mendel Schneerson

Tanya - book that is composed of five sections that define Hasidic mystical psychology and theology as a handbook for daily spiritual life in Jewish observance.

Psalm 39 - a psalm of David expressing themes of mortality, suffering, and the brevity of life
