Kever of Rebbe Shimon in Safed.
According the
Arizal in Shaar Hagilgulim, Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta is buried in the area around the old
Tzfas cemetery. The location of Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta's Kever was unknown until it was recently discovered by Yisroel Meir Gabbi who found its approximate location after analyzing a number of description found in old texts. According to Gabbi, the Kever of Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta is located right across from the Kever of
Rebbe Yehoshua ben Chananya in the
ancient cemetery of Safed on the left side of the staircase leading down from the
Arizal mikvah. Although its exact location is unknown, Gabbi and his organization Ohali Tzadikim marked its approximate location by painting it blue and putting up a sign. Mistakenly the kever on the left side of
Rabbi Yossi right near
Abba Chalafta in Kfar Chananya has been marked as the kever of Rabbi Shimon.
