==== His Resting Place - Haditch ==== Since there was no Jewish cemetery in the village of Piena, they transported the Alter Rebbe the next day by snow sled to the town of Haditch, about 300 kilometers away, where there was a Jewish cemetery. When they were transporting the Alter Rebbe for burial in Haditch, the wagon stopped in the middle of the road and it appeared that the Alter Rebbe raised himself and was lying in the air. The escorts were very frightened and then they noticed that an impure animal had gone under the wagon. They chased it away and the Alter Rebbe returned to lying as before. The Alter Rebbe was brought to rest in the Jewish cemetery in Haditch and later an ohel (structure) was built over the gravesite. After the burial, the Tzemach Tzedek moved to live in Haditch, near the holy resting place.
