רבי מאיר בעל הנס
According to the Yerushalmi
(Kelaim 9:3), R. Meir died
in
(חוץ לארץ (אסיא and his body was placed
in the sea in חו"ל.
The first
source that mentions R. Meir’s burial
place
in E. Y.
is in the Sefer גלילות ארץ ישראל. He writes that R. Meir
the Tanna is buried in
the city of Tveryah.
The Seder
Hadoros quotes the same Sefer גלילות א"י
who writes,
" R. Yitzchok from Gush Chalav and
R. Meir Baal Haness are both
buried in Gush Chalav. The
Gelilos E.Y.
also writes that he
doesn’t know who they
were.
R. Yakov Lipshutz in his Sefer
Zichron Yakov (vol 2 p 30) writes,
"The pushkes
for the poor in Eretz Yisroel were named after
an
Ish Chasid V’kadosh who lived
in Eretz Hakodesh a few hundred
years ago. He was famous – and
was called R. Meir Baal Haness”.
Two of the most prominent and
respected Frum historians
(R. Yechiel Heilprin- Seder
Hadoros & R. Yaakov Lipschutz -
Zichron Yaakov ) both believed,
that R. Meir Baal Haness
and the Tanna R.Meir were
two different people.
1) R.M.
is buried in Tveryah RMBH is buried in Gush Chalav
2) Seder
Hadoros & Gelilos E.Y. both don’t know who R.M.B.H.
was
3) Zichron Yaakov claims R.M.B.H.
lived a few hundred years ago
R.M. the Tanna lived two thousand years ago.
4)
To donate L’iluy Nishmas a Tanna
who was niftar 2,000 years ago
sounds strange.
A Neshama from 2000 years has reached its peak a long time ago.
5)
The
hundreds of Tanoim & Amoraim most of whom were
also, מלומדים בנסים yet their Neshama doesn't need an Aliyah
and the Tanna R.Meir needs
our Zchusim for his Aliyas Neshama.
6)
The Loshon, בעל הנס is not found in Shas. In Gemoro
,
we only find the term מלומד בניסים.
