KEVER ROCHEL
Are you allowed to Daven there?
The Sefer Gesher Hachayim (29:
sk11) writes:
"R. Shmuel Salant Zt"l would only Daven in the
outer room of Kever Rochel* and not in the inner room.
He held that there is an Issur of
לועג לרש (mocking the poor)
Davening in the inside
room."
There is a Halacha Mefureshes in
Shulchan Y.D. 367- 3:
" One may not Daven within 4 Amos
of a Niftar."
The Shu"t
Minchas Elozor 3-53 says that Kever Rochel is an exception for various
reasons and defends those Davening inside the room.
His Heter is only applicable for
Kever Rochel & not for other
Kevarim even Kivrei Tzadikim.
Today this Halacha in Shulchan is
almost totally ignored. There
are very few who know of or keep
this Halacha and don't Daven
or say Tehillim unless they
are distanced from the Kever 4 Amos.
There is a Sefer called מענה
הלשון which has special תחינות
(Supplications) to
be said at the Kever. It was composed
for this reason so that one can
come close to the Kever
and say these תחינות instead
of Tehillim etc.
*The מערת המכפלה,ציון הרשב"י etc. are not problematic since
they
are buried down in the מערה and the Davening is done on top.
