Some of the massive generators brought in to power the air conditioning units.

LAURELTON, Queens [CHI] — The preparations at the Ohel are at the peak, after weeks of planning by the management of ‘Ohel Chabad Lubavitch’ led by Rabbi Abba Refson, to greet the tens of thousands that will come to the Tziyon of the Rebbe on Gimmel Tammuz.

Trucks delivered the large generators and the even larger air conditioning units that will be cooling the tents, along with restaurant equipment such as refrigerators and ovens, water coolers and drums of water along with portable restrooms.

This Shabbos thousands are expected to stay at the Ohel.

    “it amazes me how some people always see the negative instaed of the positive.”

    but they will drink the water and use the toilets.

    If they think they can do any better, by all means.
