Rachel - a biblical figure, is one of the four mothers of the Jewish people. Jacob\'s main and beloved wife, and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin. Her story appears in the Torah in Genesis, chapters 29-35.

Rachel\'s Tomb(Hebrew:translit.Kever Rakhel),also known since the 1990s as the \"Bilal bin Rabah\" mosqueto Muslims andUNESCOis the name given to a small religious buildingencased in concreterevered by Jews, Christians and Muslims. The tomb is located within a Muslim cemeteryin a walled enclave biting intothe outskirts ofBethlehem, 460 meters south ofJerusalem’s municipal boundary, in theWest Bank. The burial place of the matriarchRachelas mentioned in the Jewish and ChristianOld Testament, and in Muslim literatureis contested between this site and several others to the north. The earliest extra-biblical records describing this tomb as Rachel\'s burial place date to the first decades of the 4th century AD. The domed structure containing the tomb dates from the MuslimOttomanperiodand whenSir Moses Montefiorerenovated the site in 1841 after obtaining the key for the Jewish community, he added aantechamberwhich included amihrabfor Muslim prayer.According to the 1947United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, the tomb was to be part of theinternationally administered zoneof Jerusalem, but the area was occupied by Jordan, which prohibitedIsraelisfrom entering the area. Though not initially falling withinArea C, the site has come under the control of theIsraeli Ministry of Religious Affairs,Rachel\'s tomb is the third holiest site inJudaism.Jews have made pilgrimage to the tomb since ancient times, and it has become one of the cornerstones of Jewish-Israeli identity.
