(Jerusalem Post) Abe Selig - Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin came to the ancient Ashkenazi section of the Mount of Olives cemetery in Jerusalem on Thursday, where he visited the recently rediscovered tomb of Rabbi Sa'adia Mishkelov - a 19th-century leader of religious immigrants to Israel. Rivlin explained that "Rabbi Mishkelov was a student and emissary of the Vilna Gaon, and a leader of a group of the Vilna Gaon's disciples that came to Israel in 1809." "My family also came to Israel by order of the Vilna Gaon, who instructed his followers to come settle in Jerusalem," Rivlin added. Mishkelov's tomb was discovered as part of an ongoing project undertaken by the Jerusalem Development Authority, which searches for hidden tombs. While more than 25,000 gravestones have already been documented and entered into an online database of tombs on the Mount of Olives, organizers estimate that there are between 200,000 and 300,000 in the cemetery. 2010-07-23 09:11:28Full Article
