Rachel's Tomb (Hebrew: קבר רחל‎ transit. Kever Rakhel), also known as the Bilal bin Rabah mosque (Arabic: مسجد بلال بن رباح‎) to Muslims is a small religious building revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. It is believed by some to be the burial place of the biblical matriarch Rachel. The tomb is located within a Muslim cemetery in a walled enclave biting into the outskirts of Bethlehem, 460 meters south of Jerusalem's municipal boundary, in the West Bank. The earliest extra-biblical records describing the tomb as the believed site of Rachel's burial place date back to the beginning of the 4th century. The present structure consists of two chambers; one, a domed chamber, is of Muslim Ottoman construction. The antechamber was built by Sir Moses Montefiore in 1841. According to the UN Partition Plan, the tomb was to be part of the internationally administered zone of Jerusalem, but the area was occupied by Jordan, which prohibited Israelis from entering the area. The site came under Israeli rule after the 1967 Six-Day War. not in citation given]
Rachel's tomb is the third holiest site in Judaism. Since the 1940s, it has been viewed as the symbol of the return of the Jewish people to its ancient homeland. For Jewish women, the tomb was associated with fertility and became a place of pilgrimage to pray for successful childbirth.
Jews have made a pilgrimage to the tomb since ancient times. Depictions of the Tomb of Rachel have appeared in thousands of Jewish religious books and works of art]
