The Ohel is the name of a religious shrine in Queens, New York, to which thousands of people make a pilgrimage each year. The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson and his father-in-law Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn (the two most recent leaders of the Chabad-Lubavitch school of Hasidic Judaism) are interred there. The gravesites of the previous Rebbes of Chabad are also referred to as Ohels.
The Ohel is located at Montefiore Cemetery (AKA Old Springfield Cemetery) at 226-20 Francis Lewis Boulevard, Cambria Heights Queens, New York.
