IS MORDECHAI AND HADASSAH BURIED IN ERETZ YIRAEL
Despite the beautiful burial chamber attributed to Queen Esther and Mordechai in Hamedan:
But some argue strongly that Hamedan is not Shushan, the capital of Achashverosh, and there is another tradition that points to the burial place of Esther and Mordechai in the western Galilee in Israel. Rabbi Menachem Hebroni has already documented the tradition in the thirteenth century, and said that Purim celebration were even conducted there.
The location is in the heart of Horesh, in the Tzivon Canal, not far from Kibbutz Baram. There’s a simple stone slate inside that’s situated on a mound of rocks which reads:
“The burial site of Mordechai and Esther, may their merit protect us.”
According to this tradition, Esther was brought up to the land of Israel after her death by her son Cyrus who buried her there.
