He lived in Eretz Yisroel during the fifth generation of Amoraim and served as the final Nasi of the Sanhedrin. Seeing the Roman-Christian led prosecution that almost obliterated Jewish life in Eretz Yisroel, Hillel Nesiah gathered his Sanhedrin and established the Jewish months and leap years until the time of Moshiach. He is buried in Dalton, Northern Israel. |

Early journals discribe the Kever as being right next to an ancient nut tree. Yisroel Meir Gabbai and Ohalei Tzadikim identified a tree which they believe is the one referenced in the journals. This tree is located around 10 meters away from the Kever of Hillel built by Kadmonenue. Based on their research and belief that their location is more accurate, Gabbi and Ohalei Tzadikim painted the nut tree blue. |
