Reb Binyamin (from) Todelo traveled to Eretz Yisroel in the year 1170.
In his travel diary
on Meoras Hamachpeilah, he writes:
“The Goyim built six tombs and
claim each one is for one of the Avos & Imahos.
They fool the
ignorant Goyim (tourist) who pay them money, to
approach the
tombs.
For Yidden who come
there and pay them money, they open
a metal gate and
allow them to go down a staircase which leads
to another staircase
and then to a third staircase. In there is
the cave where the
Avos are actually buried. There are six stone
Matzeivos engraved
with the names of Avraham, Sarah, Yitzchok,
Rivka, Yakov, Leah. (no Matzeivah for Adam& Chava) There are
also many barrels
filled with bones. These bones are from Yidden
who bring their dead, there so they will rest next to the Avos"
I am just wondering,
if today where we Daven which is upstairs.
is the place
that was built by the Goyim for the ignorant
Goyim (tourist)?
It is possible this
spot was intentionally chosen to Daven so
there
wouldn't be a problem with Lo'eg Lerosh (Tallis&
Tefilin etc.)
