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 – July 2 near the Ohel, a large air-conditioned tent will be erected for sleeping a 5-minute walk from the Ohel.
Accommodatios arrangements are available for Friday night, Shabbos 3 Tammuz only.
Each individual attending must be submitted as a separate application. Yeshiva bochurim will be grouped as part of the Yeshivah they attend. Married men (Yungerlite) must register as well, and can request group placement, by selecting “Group” in the registration field and entering the administrator’s phone number in the subsequent field.
