Here's a new acronym that I'll introduce to the forum: TIL. It means "Today I learned".

I think that this the Mausoleum that I used to walk past many times while stationed in Philly, it was pretty much abandoned at that time, in the 80s, and punk rockers used to hang out in it...

That would sound about right! Well, once we can get out and about, I'd like to visit. Never been there and it could be interesting. Different...

I was unaware of the tradition that those buried outside of Israel would take 40 years to rise up after the Messiah arrives.

It is interesting that these Hassidic Jews have such vast amounts of money available just to fly their dead loved ones for burials in Israel.

It's the inner circles and leaders who have the funds, the general populations don't (that the gov't can see). For example if one looks at the Satmar in Kiryas Joel one would say most of them are in poverty. But most people don't know what's going on in the background out of the sights of most people. If people dug a lot deeper they would that the leader, Aaron Teitelbaum, has a personal net worth of over $5 Million. So if has that so does the numerous members of the inner circle.
