Journey to Teveria 2026: The Kever of Rav Yaakov She'altiel Ninyo - The Ancient Cemetery

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Okay, we're here opposite the Yam Kinneret in the ancient cemetery of Tiberia. I'll tell you for me personally, this is the reason that I wanted to come here this year. I spent a lot of time on this safer. The name of the safer is Emet LeYaakov by Yaakov Shaul Tiel Ninyo. And he writes extensively about the city of Tiberia. And I I thought to myself, how come I was never at his kever? Where where is he buried? So, I sent around my friend Rav Moshe help me locate to the best of our knowledge where in all probability Rav Yaakov Shaul Tiel Ninyo is buried. Right here next to it seems to be the kever of his wife, Moras Sarah Ninyo. She was nifter on the the 11th of Sivan Rosh Chodesh Sivan, shnas taf reish mem bet, 1882. And next to him, it's not marked, is next to her is the kever of Yaakov Shaul Tiel Ninyo. His safer on Tiberia is a seminal safer.
