Kever Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas
Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas is buried in Tzafas on the slope of the Metzudah hill in the Cave of Shem and Ever. To the dismay of many visitors the cave is kept locked up by individuals controlling the location. Occasionally the outer cave is opened to visitors but the inner cave containing the kever remains locked.
