Thousands of Anash and bochurim filled tents, houses, and RVs in the vicinity of the Ohel, where they davened, learned, and farbrenged together in preparation for Gimmel Tammuz.

In the large tents near the Rebbe’s Ohel, chassidim, shluchim, and bochurim from across the globe gathered to daven and learn. Shiurim in Chassidus were held in multiple languages, with a special focus on the Rebbe’s Torah.

During the few hours of rest, guests were hosted in some fifty homes belonging to anash in the nearby Cambria Heights neighborhood, as well as in large, air-conditioned sleeping tents. Others rested in converted “mitzvah tanks” and vehicles outfitted as makeshift sleeping quarters.

Throughout Friday night and Shabbos day, heartfelt farbrengens took place, led by rabbonim, mashpi’im, and shluchim.
