How to get there

Ohel in the Viznitz cemetery, 290 NY-306 at Brick Church Road, Monsey, NY 10952

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.IT IS OPEN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. The Viznitz cemetery on Route 306, at the corner of Brick Church Road, is not a ground you have to arrange — you can come at any hour, which is why people daven there at night. The chevra kadisha is Khal Torath Chaim Viznitz, on (845) 356-4407.
2.HIS OHEL IS BESIDE THE SKULENER OHEL, which is the easiest way to find it once you are inside the gate. There is a section set aside near the kever for women to daven.
3.THE YAHRZEIT ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN CORRECTED. It used to give 13 Teves 5755. He was niftar on 24 Tishrei 5756 — the eighteenth of October 1995 — at the age of a hundred and two. If you have the old date written down from here, change it.
4.HE WAS A SHTEFANESHTER CHOSSID, which is worth knowing if you are following the Ruzhin line: the rebbe he followed is buried at Nachlas Yitzchok in Givatayim, brought there from Romania in 5729.
