Upwards of 50,000 people are expected to attend the levaya today of the venerated BMG mashgiach Rav Mattisyahu Salomon zt”l, who was niftar Tuesday night at the age of 86.
Full photo and video coverage of the Levaya can be seen here.
Authorities spent the night with Askonim and officals from BMG to ensure the proper safety for the massive crowd and to give the proper Kavod Achron for the Mashgiach at the Levaya.
Many Lakewood businesses will be closed for the duration of the Levaya.

Going to jfk or newark airport please?
JFK but they dont know if there is a levayah at the airport yet
A Yungerman came to him once with a 3 year old to start with the haircut. The guy explained to him that he had to circle the street twice because we are careful that, on this day, the child should not see a Goy or a Tomei animal. So the Rav told him that having this attitude about our fellow Human Being, is in and of itself Tomei. We see from this how we have to teach ourselves and our children to have the proper respect for all decent human beings.
A foolish woke story that never happened.
@ader
that is a clear lie. He would never speak against a clear minhag yisroel.
What time at JFK?

Very silly to believe this bubbe maaseh!
Not sure where you come from.
But I would not look down at minhagei yisrael.
This is a minhag which thousands of yidden follow.
Besides we know that chazal calls them am hadomeh lachamor.
