Ohel

An ohel is a sacred structure, often a tent or building, in Jewish tradition, used as a burial site or memorial for revered individuals, such as rabbis or tzadikim. It serves as a spiritual and physical resting place where people come to pray, seek inspiration, and connect with the spiritual legacy of the person buried there. The ohel is carefully maintained and is considered a site of holiness, enabling visitors to feel a tangible connection to the departed's spiritual influence and to pray for guidance or blessings.
