Overview
- Organizers confirmed on July 30, 2026, that purpose-built hospitality tents bought from a foreign manufacturer have been delivered and installed beside Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson’s ohel to accommodate an expected large turnout.
- A charter flight from Israel has been arranged to bring hundreds of guests, a move organizers say reflects increased international participation in the annual 20 Menachem Av commemoration.
- Event leadership credits philanthropist Avi Shaulzon with funding and coordinating hotel space and on-site hospitality while local Chabad shluchim, including Rabbis Yeshaya (Shaya) Cohen and Elchanan Cohen, are running the on-ground program.
- The schedule at the kever will include continuous minyanim, Torah shiurim, and farbrengens through the night and day of Chof Menachem Av to focus on Reb Levik’s life, teachings, and legacy.
- The scaled-up operation highlights how cross-border logistics, private philanthropy, and local leadership can revive and sustain large religious pilgrimages to a Soviet-era burial site that now draws worldwide visitors.
