In recent years the Kever of Rabbi Tarfon was marked as being in Kadita. Yisrael Meir Gabay and Ohali Tzadikim claim that this location is a mistake made based on the testimony of two diaries whose authors never visited the kever but copied out of earlier texts, misunderstanding the location of this kever. Ohali Tzadikim identified a cave in Meron that seems to match the descriptions of the early pilgrims on their path up to the Rashbi. This cave as a double cave, the upper part is accessible and the lower part is sealed up. It is assumed that Rabbi Tarfon is buried in the lower cave. |
