I remember doing that once when I was 5 or 6...They brought a grill and set up tables and chairs at the grave of the loved one...That was in the Easton Cemetery in Easton, pa Rte 22 ran right past it...
‘ Come spring, local bands will take a stage by the steps of the mausoleum, where the historic cemetery once stored bodies when the ground was too frozen for gravediggers to penetrate.’
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...

“There’s a tradition that when the resurrection of the dead comes about, the people in Jerusalem and its vicinity will rise immediately, and those who are buried abroad will take 40 years,”
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.
