Kever Rabbi Tarfon
Early diaries of travelers to Kivrei Tzadikim mostly describe the kever of Rebbe Tarfon in cave in Meron on the way up the hill leading to the Rashbi. 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.
