MAMME ROCHEL?
The Ramban in Parshas Vaychi (48-7) writes that
Rochel died and was buried in Romoh which is in the chelek of Binyomin.
The Ramban in Parshas Vayishlach (35:16) writes that after he arrived in Eretz Yisrael and saw with his own eyes Kever Rochel,
he changed his mind
and held that Kever Rochel is less than a mil away from Bais Lechem (chelek Yehudah & not in Romoh).
It would be interesting to know what exactly the Ramban saw that made him change his mind.
What convinced him to realize this to be the true location of Kever Rochel?
Reb Binyamin (from) Todelo traveled to Yerushalayim in the year 1170
one hundred years before the Ramban's arrival to Eretz Yisrael
He wrote in his travel diary a short description of Kever Rochel.
"The matzeiva has 11 stones
Over the matzeivah there is a dome built on four posts.
Yidden who come there write their names on the stones of the matzeiva."
(grafitti) They used to do this also on the Kosel.
