The Isaac Hall includes the “entrance to the Garden of Eden,” a hole in the floor
that leads into the cave where the actual underground tombs are located. The cenotaphs,
or memorials to Isaac and Rebecca are also located there.
The hall is open to the general public only ten times throughout the year, mostly
corresponding to Jewish holidays. Normally the hall is reserved for Muslim prayers. In a
rotation agreement with the Muslim Waqf, Islamic services are held in the normally
Jewish area on ten select days throughout the year.
Rabbi Eliyahu stated, “we had a taste of the Biblical ascension of the
Temple. The Temple is called the House of God, not our house, and it is our mission to
remember the joy in every prayer.”
