The Ohel

The Ohel is a structure built over the burial site of a revered Jewish spiritual leader or saint, serving as a place for prayer, reflection, and connection. It allows visitors to pay respects, seek inspiration, and add personal prayers, often leaving notes or intentions. While primarily a site of reverence and remembrance, the Ohel also functions as a communal space where followers gather to honor the saint’s memory and seek spiritual guidance. Its purpose is to foster closeness to the spiritual leader’s legacy and reinforce faith within the community.
