Hey there its Rabbi Goldstein here. I would like to let you all know that I had you all in mind while praying at the resting place of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, known as the Ohel (loosely translated as tent, referring to the mausoleum surrounding the Rebbe's grave) speaking of the Ohel we are planing on a weekend trip to the Ohel. It will include a tour of Crown Heights, 770 which is the Lubavitch world headquarters, and will conclude with a visit to the Ohel. Please let us know if you are interested.
