Cabin 'Otzarot Berashit'

The Cave of Genesis is the name of a legendary cave on Mount Carmel, which was rumored to contain the Tablets of the Covenant. There are many versions of the legend, but all of them have the same initial core that seeks to explain where the Tablets of the Covenant are that Moses brought to the people of Israel from Mount Sinai. The Ten Commandments are engraved on the Tablets of the Covenant and they were housed in the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark of the Covenant was the Holy of Holies of the Temple built by Solomon. In the fall of the First Temple, the Tablets of the Covenant disappeared and were never found again. According to the legend, the priests from Jerusalem fled the Ark of the Covenant to a hidden cave in Mount Carmel and this knowledge was kept by few who knew the secret, these died with their secret and an earthquake that occurred in the area blocked the entrance to the cave forever. However, the knowledge that the Tablets of the Covenant are somewhere in the Land of Israel continued to haunt the minds of the Israelites throughout the generations. Some believe that this cave is a treasure cave and in it lies a huge cache of silver and gold and precious stones, and some even believed that inside it are fossils of the beginning of man.
