Where & When?

 

Where is קבר רחל?                                            According to the some ראשונים,  (רלב"ג, חזקוני, *רמב"ן פרשת ויחי) קבר רחל is not in בית לחם (south of Yerushalayim) but in רמה north of Yerushalayim- (Ramat Shlomo-Shuafat area)        When is her Yahrzeit?   According to Rashi it's not on י"א חשוון 1) According to the פסיקתא רבתי, Rochel  died  between Pesach & Shavuos when the ground was dry. (see Rashi Breishis 48:7 who agrees with the Pesikta) 2) The ילקוט שמעוני writes, she died on the 11th of Cheshvan. 3) In one of the dead sea scrolls,* it is written that she died on the 10th of Teves.
