Editing Tziyun of the Rebbe Rayatz (section)

== Customs of Hishtatchut (Visiting the Gravesite) ==
The Rebbe's letter in which he writes: "It must be ensured that people don't mistakenly say that one visits the cemetery on Shabbat Kodesh"

Some of the customs of hishtatchut were instructed by the Rebbe himself, and some were learned from the Rebbe's own conduct while at the Ohel.

'''A.''' One knocks on the door of the Ohel three times before entering.

'''B.''' At the Ohel, it is customary to read the Maaneh Lashon (a special prayer recited at gravesites).

'''C.''' It is customary not to wear leather shoes while staying at the Ohel.

'''D.''' Those who merited to see the Rebbe (the Previous Rebbe) with their physical eyes should visualize his face and think "az do iz er" (that here he is).

'''E.''' It is customary to tear the letter and place it on the gravesite.

'''F.''' One does not eat on the day of going to the Ohel before entering the Ohel. When entering the Ohel at night, one does not eat from sunset. But one does drink (specifically).

And in this manner, the Rebbe instructed his secretary, R' Binyamin Klein.
