CROWN HEIGHTS [CHI] — As night fell, the steady stream of people coming to visit the Ohel, the Rebbe’s resting place, increased. In the tent, Yungelite; Bochurim; Anash and Shluchim were seen learning and Farbrenging together, and the occasional head was down on the table asleep.

Tens of thousands of people from around the world and all walks of life will converge on the Ohel tonight and tomorrow, marking Gimmel Tammuz the day of the passing of the Rebbe. Feverish preparations are underway to accommodate the masses.

One month prior to Gimmel Tammuz, the Shluchim of the Rabbinical College of Australia and New Zealand - Yeshivah Gedolah – Melbourne - initiated a Mivtzah to encourage the students to prepare for this auspicious day.
