Editing Tziyun of the Rebbe Rayatz (section)

== The Ohel ==
The Rebbe would pray at the Ohel in the early years.

The Rebbe would regularly visit the place and read letters and blessing requests that came to him from all corners of the world. In the early years, the Rebbe would do this on the eves of Rosh Chodesh and on the 15th of each month, and on special days such as the yahrtzeits of our Rebbes, and in later years more frequently, on Mondays and Thursdays, and more.

The Ohel was built, according to the Rebbe's instructions, without a roof so that Kohanim could also visit the site. Additionally, a partition ten tefachim high was built between the area of the graves and the area where visitors pray.

Over the years, a special room was built on site that served the Rebbe during his stays there. The room burned down in the month of Adar Sheni 5752 (1992).

In 5754 (1994), the Chabad Lubavitch Ohel House was built nearby for those coming to visit the gravesite. The place was built and managed by R' Chaim Baruch Halberstam, and today the management is in the hands of R' Abba Refson.

Today there is a yeshiva in the area, 2 mikvaot, and several buildings where one can prepare to enter the Ohel.

Tens of thousands visit the place throughout the year, especially on 10 Shevat, 3 Tammuz, the eve of Rosh Hashanah, the eve of Rosh Chodesh, and on Sundays.
