I was just there – and the only kvarim I couldn’t get to was Yitzchoks and Rivkas – those are only open to the Arabs. This is by Avraham Avinus Kever

The frierdiker rebbe was inside the meoras hamachpeila. It was under turkish rule therefore Jews could NOT get in and used to daven at the 7 step. the Sdei Chemed who was the cheif Rabbi was able to get permission for the Rebbe Rayatz to go in. The story I have heard many of times was that the Rebbe pointed the REAL location of the kevarim NOT based on the monuments location. He also davened at the 7th step bec if Jews daven in a place, it makes it a makom kodosh.

I think you are not accurate. Only the Yitzkak monument is in the moslem part, BTW, these monuments are only decorative and do not represent the corresponding resting sites of each of the Avos. The place closed to the actual burial cave is next to the Ytzhak monument. You can also get quite close if you daven outside by the “7 steps” where the Friedeker Rebbe davened as the mehara was closed to Jews at that time.

54 & 35 you are both wrong. Jews are allowed into the portion that is above Yakov avinu’s grave at all times. Kever Yotzchok & avrohom Avinu are a problem & only open to Jews certain time of the year.

September 13, 2010 8:57 am

No, it is not kever yitzchok. The Israel government does not allow Jews to enter kever yitzchok. It is a mosqe called kever avrohom, but it is not really kever avrohom. It is a mosqe inside the mearas hamachpela compound. Arabs worship at kever yitzchok. Jews worship in the adjacent mosqe. Enforced by the “Jewish State” may Hashem have mercy.

unfortunately the friedicker rebbe was NOT permitted inside the meoras hamachpeila and therefore did not daven there, he was permitted to the thirteenth step (outside, alot closer then most at that time). When the Arabs (Turkey at the time, yes that Turkey who is screaming of human rights) was in control, Jews were not permitted to their holy sites!

You are all wrong. Only #35 got it right. It is next to Mearas Hamachpela, where the Netanyahu government allows Jews to enter. Jews are not allowed to enter Mearas Hamachpela. That is the agreement bearing the signatures of Binyamin Netanyahu and Yessir Arafat. Hashem Yerachem.

p.s. please please visit chevron!! We are fighting a daily struggle for survival… the arabs are building at a maddening pace, in many cases on land stolen by jews in 1929.

We jews cant build, buildings we buy are confiscated by the government, buildings owned from pre 1929 are off limits to us.

September 12, 2010 9:27 pm

It is the Ibrahami Mosque, adjacent to mearas hamachpela. Strangely and inexplicably, the Israeli government allows Arabs to pray in mearas hamachpela, and Jews are admitted to pray only in the chatzer and the Ibrahami Mosque, except for 10 days a year when Jews are allowed to enter mearas hamachpela. Moshiach Now!
