Hillel

Nestled near the tomb of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, an intriguing cave beckons with stories of miracles and ancient wisdom. Once a revered pilgrimage site, this cave is now accessible with improved facilities. Legend attributes its mystical past to the great Jewish leaders Hillel and Shammai.

From poverty in Babylon to leadership in Jerusalem, Hillel’s legacy of humility, scholarship, and halachic (Jewish legal) innovation continues to guide Jewish life to this day
