Visiting the Ohel

Do not eat before entering the Ohel, but make sure to drink.

• Wear non-leather shoes or slippers when entering the Ohel.
• Make sure your tzitzis are not visible.
• Knock on the door of the Ohel before entering.
• After reading your pan, rip it up and place it in the enclosure.
• When leaving the Ohel, exit backwards.
• Wash negel vaser after leaving the Ohel.

Kohanim may enter the Ohel, since a fence ten tefachim high separates the walkway leading to the Ohel from the surrounding kevarim. However, when in the Ohel, they should remain four tefachim away from the enclosure surrounding the Rebbeim, and they should ask someone else to deposit their panim inside.
