Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta
Some say that Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta was a son of Rabbi Chalafta, born to him in his very old age. Others say he was a great grandson and was the son of Rabbi Chalafta the second son of Rabbi Yossi.
Kever Abba Chalafta
Rabbi Halafta is buried in the Kfar Chananya area, right after the Chalafta traffic junction that was named in his memory. A few feet away is the Kever of his son Rabbi Yosi. A mistaken tradition also places the tomb of Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta in this courtyard but was rebuffed by the Arizal who placed it in Tzefat in the vicinity of the ancient cemetery. Near these kivarim still stands an ancient large tree that was inscribed in diaries of visitors hundreds of years back.
Hillulah of Aba Chalafata
A Hillulah was created for Abba Chalafta and his son Rabbi Yossi on the 15th of Tammuz.
