As part of an ancient custom, Jews from all over the holy land travel to the gravesite of R Shimon bar Yochai and study the Zohar on his Kever with a mixture of trepidation and awe.
All the while aware of the countless miracles that have taken place at the very same site, the visitors give charity and utter heartfelt prayers on the spot, drawing on the reserve of holiness and power etched in the stone and vested in the earth surrounding the resting place of R Shimon.
