Thousands visit Rebbe’s Ohel
NY Newsday
Jacob Elizerov drove nine hours from Ohio to join thousands who came from as far as China to visit the Queens grave of Rebbe Menachem Schneerson, the Lubavitch leader who died 11 years ago Sunday.
“I think I am even too young to understand right now the righteousness of this person,” said Elizerov, 21, who waited for two hours with his family to enter the rebbe’s concrete tomb.
The visits celebrated a man some believed was the Messiah.
