Fast Fact

The tomb of Rachel is situated at the entrance to Bethlehem. She is the only one of the four Jewish matriarchs who is not buried in Hebron. According to Midrash, her son Joseph was the first to pray at her grave. Today, it remains a special place for prayer. Bethlehem is also the location for most of the biblical story of Ruth, who was the great-grandmother of King David.
