At times, people waited as much as two hours to spend as little as two minutes beside the resting place of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory.

An estimated 50,000 people flocked to the resting place of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, over the 24-hour period marking the 15th anniversary of his passing.

Visitors from around the world waited as much as two hours June 25 to spend as little as two minutes beside the Rebbe’s resting place at the Old Montefiore Cemetery in Cambria Heights, N.Y. Over the course of the day, they took stock of their lives, immersed themselves in Torah study and derived inspiration from the Rebbe’s call to strengthen Judaism and reach every single Jew, wherever he or she may be found.
