Send a Prayer to the grave of R. Pinchas ben Yair

Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair was the father-in-law of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. The Talmud (Chulin 7) tells that he was extremely careful never to partake from someone else's meal. He also refused to accept support from others. He was once on his way to redeem a captured prisoner (pidyon shevuyim) when he reached the Ginnai River. He asked the river to please split so that he could cross to the other side. After it had split for him, he then asked it to split twice more so that two others that he met would also be able to get across, and the river obeyed his command. Hearing this, Rabbi Yossi remarked, "He is even greater then Moshe, for whom the sea split only once". When his students once asked him if they would also be able to decree that the water should split on their behalf, he told them that it would work only if they are sure that they never hurt another persons feelings or harmed a person in any other way during their entire life.
