    Holy site. People come here from all over the world. Say a special prayer and take upon oneself a good deed for the blessing to come down. There is a Shul on site. Tables to have lunch. And a small cafe. Many gift shops. Great views of the Kineret lake.

    I respect the Rabbi and what he stood for and I'm glad that people still honor his memory today. But the stores that you have to pass to get to his grave are insane. Selling religious items ok. But Toys including toy guns and samurai swords and soccer balls just doesn't seem right to me. I'd come back from the dead and kick it all out if it was my grave.. but it ain't me so it goes on.

    What a great holy place, it's on of the most popular graves of Jewish rabbis, and it's very nice both inside you'll have a great synagogue where to pray, and outside you'll find your self in paradise surrounded with nice mountains, and of course the Kinneret from the other side, it was definitely one of the greatest places I ever visited.

    A different side of Israel but still must be seen and visited. I had just visited the Hamat Tiberias National Park and since this Tomb is just a few minutes walk from there, I decided to go and visit it as well. I had already been there in 1970 so it was kind of a must for me. It is of course a lot like the Tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai at Meron which I had visited the day before, just smaller. And like there, combined with this special atmosphere of mysticism, there were too many shops and sellers of everything and anything (which weren't there in 1970). It definitely spoiled the atmosphere. Pity.

    Holy place of Jewish. Man and women are in different pray. Free parking outside, to come in you have to pass by some shops

    This is the tomb of Rabbi Meir, the miracle worker, and one of the greatest Talmudic rabbis. It is a large complex with areas for prayer and study. Just off a main road, with parking available, it is easy to access.

    Very special and spiritual place of the Tanai Torah giant. Beautiful view of the Kinneret lake and an extra special place to pray for miracles in merit of the Torah sage. Complex being renovated anew.

    Recent renovations are very nice, great view over the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights. May the merit of Rabbi Mier open channels of blessings

  • 4/5 airan p. 1 year ago on Google • 34 reviews
    Beautiful there. Right by the kinneret. Beautiful views from there. Judaica stores to buy all kinds of books, candles, kippahs, siddurim, mezuzot covers, etc etc... Also to buy ice cream, and drinks (ice tea, water, and sodas, Sprite, fanta, Coke, etc..) No food like falafel or shawarma sold there. So bring your own food. Many people make little bbqs and meals in the back parking lot seating area. Beautiful place, a must visit.

    A quintessential Israeli experience, one should be prepared before visiting.

  • 5/5 Gilyon U. 2 years ago on Google
    Both entrances are nice to pray, Ashkenazi and Sephardi. The Sephardi has been recently renovated though, with some beautiful architecture!

  • 5/5 TY N. 2 years ago on Google
    Parking area is a big mess to start with. Otherwise the tomb is beautifully designed, clean and tidy. Couple of shops before the tomb for candles, drinks, pictures of rabbis etc. Plenty of holy books for prayer and study. Its right next to the kinneret

  • 5/5 yitzy P. 1 year ago on Google
    Holy place. Directions where a little complicated , there's a table with a guy trying to collect for a Yeshiva there, it's optional to donate not mandatory as they can try to make you feel

  • 5/5 Shlomo E. 1 year ago on Google
    Place where the holy Petek, the letter from Rebbe Nachman to Rabbi Israel Odesser was found.

  • 5/5 samuel p. 2 years ago on Google
    What is there to say? It's the resting place of one of the most historically relevant and holy Rabbis in history. The main author of most mishnaic texts, and one of the main leaders of the Jewish people. Also there are two more leading Rabbis from that time period, leaders of their generation whose Torah is still quoted today around the world. There are two main buildings there. One is built like an ohel where there are separate entrances for both men and women as well as a location for kohanim. You can go in around the clock and say a prayer. There's parking lots on either side of the building so no matter which side you come from there's room to go park. During the day there's a long walkway that's easily accessable and wheelchair accessable as well that brings you to the main building. Behind is the other building. This was built as a synagogue. In the front on the left is Rebbi Meir and next to him are the other Rabbis. This appears to be where the main entrance to the caves used to be. Another great place to stop, pray, and learn. Outside there may be little stores open during the day, so there's plenty of places to buy items to remember your trip, but I did not see anything specific for that location. There's also bathrooms outside the older building for both men and women that have been remodeled and are updated and clean.
