Ohel, Jewish burial site in Cambria Heights, United States.
The Ohel consists of two adjacent graves within an open-air structure at Montefiore Cemetery, marked by surrounding brick walls and metal fencing.
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who led the Chabad-Lubavitch movement for four decades until 1994, visited this location regularly to read prayer requests.
Visitors write personal requests on paper notes called kvitlach, which are torn into pieces and placed at the graves following Jewish tradition.
The site includes a visitor center with a library, synagogue, video room, and refreshment area, operating continuously throughout the year.
The cemetery receives over 1100 prayer requests daily through fax and email, which staff members print and place at the graves.
