Directions to Kever: Although in a constant state of cleanup, the Newark Jewish Cemetery is in extreme disarray and can be dangerous, use caution when visiting!!! In addition to the actual cemetery the surrounding areas have long past their prime, visiting as a group or waiting until Annual Newark Cemetery Visiting Day in September is strongly recommended. Should an Emergency arise call 911. Location: Exact gps location 260 S 20th Street, the ohel is by the road

The Rebbe arrived on these shores in 1914 and managed to bring over his family a number of years later in 1918. He passed away c. 1920 after contracting the Spanish flu.
His son Rav Tzvi Aryeh is listed as well:

He was my great grandfather. Herman (tzvi aryeh) was my grandfather.
He was my grandfather, and I contacted his descendants to Join to repair and restore His ohel, pictured here. I visit every year…of course I never met him but he is well loved.
The actual place where he is buried is locked although there is a little peice of mitzive outside of the building
