Back to EpisodesS.6 #5 | Visiting a spiritual oasis (the Ohel)
Description
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.
