This large double cave was Historically respected by Jews, Muslims and Christians. Legend says this cave was once used as a Bais Medrash of Shem and his grandson Ever and possibly the location where Yackov studied for 14 on his way to Lavan. Inside the inner cave there are a number of graves, some of which had historically been attributed to various Tanaim. According to the testimony of the [[Rabbi-Yitzchak-Luria|holy Ari]] the only Tana buried in this cave is [[Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas|Rebbe Dossa ben Hurkaness]]. |
