So you are taking a trip to the Ohel?
Can I go to New York with you and visit the Ohel?

Wonderful story about the professor and the cab driver. I knew it would end that way.
I know a similar story except it's not about the ohel. It's about when the Rebbe was alive. But because of that story, I knew how this one would turn out.

I was relieved to hear that HaShem might forgive even tattoos. I was so depressed because of my tattoos :( I don’t recommend it for anyone it was the biggest mistake of my life
