By COLlive reporter

The staff of Ohel Chabad-Lubavitch, the organization that oversees arrangements at the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s gravesite in Queens, are preparing to host the large crowd expected to mark the day of Gimmel Tammuz at the Ohel.

Each year, people from around the country and world come to the Rebbe’s Ohel at the Old Montefiore Cemetery to mark the anniversary of his passing on the third day of Tammuz.

Rabbi Abba Refson, director of activities at the Ohel Chabad-Lubavitch, says he has been working with his staff to ensure a smooth and organized experience for all visitors.

For those who plan to spend Shabbos of Gimmel Tammuz – June 19-20 near the Ohel, a large air conditioned tent will be erected for sleeping a 5 minute walk from the Ohel, Refson said. Beds will be ordered only according to demand, due to the expense. To reserve a bed please register here.

Those planning to come with a Mobile Home, will need to reserve a parking space here. The NYPD will not permit Mobile Homes to park on nearby streets, he said.
