Chabad Shluchim Visit the Ohel

By , LUBAVITCH HEADQUARTERS, NY

A preeminent moment of the International Conference of Chabd-Lubavitch shluchim is the visit at the Rebbe's resting place at the Old Motifiore cemetery in Queens, New York.

Lubavitch.com photographer Israel Bardugo captured one group as they visited and prayed at the Ohel.

Chabad-Lubavitch Shluchim, representing Jewish communities worldwide, at the Ohel in the predawn hours, Friday morning. The Shluchim have come to the Ohel to read a pidyon nefesh, or a note of supplication, at the resting place of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, and of his predecessor, Rabbi Yosef Y. Schneersohn, of blessed memory. For more on this custom, click here.
