Abstract
This paper examines the case of Rachel’s Tomb, a shrine revered at various times by various combinations
of Muslims, Christians and Jews, looking at how the increasingly incommensurate ideas of local
inhabitants and immigrant Jews about how the holy place should be approached led initially to a spatial
separation within the shrine and then to violent, and exclusive, battles over sectarian (and increasingly
‘national’) properties.
