	It is important to purify oneself by immersing in a Mikva before visiting Kivrei Tzadikim, this is especially true if a person has experienced an emission. If a person can not immerse in a Mikva he should try to do a mikvah alternative such as Tisha Kavim or Nitalas Yadaim 40 times. Even if a person can not do the above he should still visit the Kevarim of true Tzadikim and rely on their power to cleanse him. This is only true in cases where the Tzadik is buried alone like the Rashbi, however in cases where a person has to first pass through a cemetery filled with less then holy bodies, one should avoid doing so without immersing in the Mikva.

	Since grave robbery was a common problem throughout history, often Kivarim were created with a fake empty 'Kuch' on top while the actually body was buried a level under this. Grave robbers would then assume the tomb had already been vandalized and would leave it alone. A typical example of this is the Cave of [[Hillel the Elder]], where empty caskets lay above the actual Kivarim.

		+	A number of Midrashim relate the importants of Kivrei Tzadikim. Kalev ben Yefuneh went to pray in Chevron on his spying trip to Eretz Yisroel so he would be saved from the plot of the Miraglim. It also states that the kever of Moshe was hidden from man since Hashem knew that any decree including that of the exile could be annulled if people came and prayed by his kever. This is also the reason why Yackov, buried Rachel in middle of the road leading from Efrasa. He foresaw with Roach Hakodesh how his descendant would be exiled along this route following the destruction of the First Temple and passing would allow them the opportunity to pray and have Rachel intervene for Divine mercy.
