According to Rabbi Chaim Vital in the name of the [[Rabbi-Yitzchak-Luria|Arizal]], Rabbi Shimon ben Menasya is buried by a stone quarry in the area now called the Baal Shem Tov Forest bellow Ein Zettim. Kadmonenue built a Tzion in-between Kever [[Rabbi Yossi of Pekien]] and the now rediscovered kever of [[Rav Yeva Saba DeMishpatim]], marking it as the estimated location of the kever. In recent years Yisroel Meir Gabbai and Ohali Tzadikim marked a different location further down in the direction of [[Safed]], claiming that according to their calculations this was the spot being described by Rabbi Chaim Vital. | According to Rabbi Chaim Vital in the name of the [[Rabbi-Yitzchak-Luria|Arizal]], Rabbi Shimon ben Menasya is buried by a stone quarry in the area now called the Baal Shem Tov Forest bellow Ein Zettim.
