Yesterday i was shocked!
Visiting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel’s_Tomb
“In contemporary Jewish society it is now considered the third holiest site in Judaism[17][18][19][20] and has become one of the cornerstones of Jewish-Israeli identity.[21]”
I thought i was simply going to visit the Tomb of Rachel, and then i was there among many praying and Torah studying Haredi on the line between Palestine and Israel at Bethlehem.
