Kever Rabbi Yose ben Chalafta

Rabbi Yosi ben Chalafta is buried in the Kfar Chananya area right after the turn from the Chalafta junction. He is buried a few feet from his father Abba Chalafta. In the Tziyun of Rabbi Yosi there are two kevarim, Rabbi Yossi being the one on the right with the smaller cover. Originally the larger cover belonged to Rabbi Yossi but it was exchanged during the building of the initial Tziyun. On the right side of Rabbi Yossi is buried either a brother, son or student of unknown name. For years it was mistakenly assumed that kever belonged Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta a younger brother or according to some opinions a grandson of Rabbi Yossi. This however is not true since the Arizal said he was buried in Tzefat in the vicinity of the ancient cemetery.
