How to get there

Ohel at the top of the Kiryas Yoel Village Cemetery, 30 Schunnemunk Road, Kiryas Joel (Monroe), NY 10950

The exact grave coordinates are not confirmed yet — go by the address and ask locally. We don't publish a coordinate we haven't checked.

1.THE ADDRESS IS 30 SCHUNNEMUNK ROAD. The ground runs alongside Bardichev Road, between Koznitz and Zenta, and the ohel is at the top of the cemetery — walk up rather than along.
2.THE OHEL HOLDS THREE. The Satmar Rov, the Rebbetzin Alta Feiga, and Reb Moshe Teitelbaum, the Berach Moshe, who followed him and was niftar in 5766. His long-time gabbai, Reb Yossel Ashkenazi, is buried directly outside it.
3.THE CEMETERY IS HARD TO WALK IF YOU DO NOT KNOW IT. There is a bulletin board by the entrance with a kept-up list of who is buried where; read it before you start looking, and ask for directions rather than wandering.
4.THE YAHRZEIT DRAWS A CROWD. Twenty-six Av brings very large numbers to this ohel. If you want to daven quietly, that is not the day to come.
