  1. I heard you can't take your tefilin with you.

  2. I've been there with my father about 12 years ago. All I can say is that it was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience. If I'm not mistaken, it's very rare that people go to visit. When I was there, they had a guestbook that was last signed over 6 months before!

  3. The yahrzeit is on Rosh Chodesh which is Friday. Why are they returning on Thursday?

  4. Is that really where it is?

    Did he ever really exist, anyway?

  5. I thought there was no mesorah on where he is actually buried... though that never stopped any other pilgrimages. Just another way of "kashering" a trip to Petra.
