Probably largest Yiddish levaye, the USA has ever seen. need to post the photo where you can literally see tens of thousands.
If you can top 250k that Rav Moshe Feinstein had then we can talk...
Fake news! No such a thing was possible 30+ years ago
Crowd sizes, the original 'alternative facts' (not fake news)!

I was there (the whole Yeshiva went). Wasn’t at today’’s levaya, and I’m not aware of local yeshivos that went.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

The NYT claims 20k, so hard to believe there were more than 50k.

Theyre notorious on crowd sizes. More likely they dropped a zero than flipped a 5.

Who really cares about who had a larger crowd? Does that really make a difference?  ???

The Times is so out of touch these days, that there is not a word of this.

my guess is Reb Moshe had more, but a friend of mine who was at Reb Moshe's levaya saw how that number was made up. There was a news van on one of the streets with a lady reporter who stayed in the van and she asked her assistant "John how many people do you think are here?", he took one look around and said 250K and thus was born the myth
