| A leading student of Rebbe Shimon bar Yochi, often mentioned in the Zohar. |
Rabbi Yitzchak from the Zohar was one of the main students of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and is often quoted throughout the Zohar. He was one of the six students to survive the gathering of the Idra Rabba. When the angel of death came to take Rebbe Yitzchak from this world, his teacher Rebbe Shimon saved him through his prayers accepting upon himself as a grantor on his life. Rabbi Yitzchock passed away on the same day as his teacher, on Lag Baomer the 18th of Iyyar and was buried in Wadi Amud underneath Tzfat.
Kever Rabbi Yitzchak from the Zohar
Kever Rabbi Yitzchok is described by Rabbi Chaim Vital as was revealed to him by the Arizal as being in Wadi Amud underneath Tzfat above the Kever of Rebbe Abba and directly across from the Kever of Rabbi Nechunya ben HaKane. There is a common misconception that Rabbi Yitzchok from the Zohar is buried in Meron in the courtyard of the Rashbi. However that Rabbi Yitzchock must be a different Tana.
