Republican mayoral hopeful Joseph Lhota visited, Thursday
morning, the grave of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe z”l in Queens. Mr. Lhota lit a
candle, recited a few chapters of Tehilim (psalms) and dropped in a kvitel
(personal wish) at the Ohel.
Mr. Lhota, who won handily the Republican primary for mayor,
was accompanied by Rabbi Yitzchok Hecht, from the NCFJE and director of Chabad
of Ulster County; Rabbi Ya’acov Behrman, a Crown Heights political activist and
the former director of media relations for Chabad headquarters and his Jewish
Liaison, Michael Fragin.
Speaking to reporters, Mr. Lhota said he was following up on
an earlier invitation. Since the primaries were over, he said he felt it would
be the appropriate time to visit the graveside of the Late Lubavitcher Rebbe
and fill out a personal blessing “for the future of the great City of New
York.”
