Touring Toons "Kever Rochel" Video

"Kever Rochel” is the second installment in the series of videos entitled Touring-Toons. Each of these short videos focuses on a unique aspect of Eretz Yisroel and its mekomos hakedoshim. "Kever Rochel” takes its viewers on a virtual tour of the burial place of Rochel Imeinu, accompanied by private tour guide Rabbi Baruch, from the popular Tefilla-Toons series (K_00964). Rabbi Baruch gives a detailed history of the original structure of Kever Rochel, its renovation by Sir Moses Montefiore, and the construction of the high walls. He also explains why Yaakov Avinu chose to bury Rochel there, and brings down the medrash about Yirmiyahu invoking Rochel's zechusim at the time of the churban. The video provides beautiful, panoramic views of the inside and outside of Kever Rochel.
