Went on a bus convoy 2 years ago.
Buses left to go at around 1:30am from Rechalim.
Was quite the experience, even though I'm not a graves kinda person. I went to show its importance as a historical site.

Chk out this old pic before the 'indigenous' population moved in.

I went erev rosh chodesh and it was an amazing excperiance! I'd suggest anyone who can go to call the above posted number and go next time there is a bus. Probably next erev rosh chodesh...

was just there on Yesod shebeyesod. Was pretty nuts. They made it into a mini rashbi on lag baomer- food, music- only difference was the crazy amount of soldiers and tear gas due to the (arab) rock throwing. I guess we had it better than the group that went in 2 weeks ago, the cousins poured gasoline or something on the ground that the convoy was going to pass and when it came- they lit it. The regulars there told me it was "normal" as is the rock throwing. The whole experience is a little crazy- they go in with 10 buses at a time, and after they park, they open the doors all at once. With 50 people on each bus- and 10 buses - it makes it 500 people running to get into a tiny tiny room. Either way - it was a cool experience and zchus to daven there.

Stay safe and don't follow any "nanachs" when they tell you that they are going to take a dip in a "mayan" near by! (true story)

I'll never forget my trip to Kever Yosef. Brings back my good memories.

I have been to many kivrei tzaddikim but alas never to kever yosef.

I have tried so many times, even been on a bus once that didn't get in.

It is a dream of mine to make it there. Hopefully on my next trip to Israel I'll get the chance.

I have been there, definitely a experience not to be missed

Isn't going to Kever Yosef literally risking your life, or am I misinformed?

Agreed - at this stage in my life I wouldn't even consider it. Back was I was single though OTOH it was the most exciting way to daven imaginable

dunno as a guy who grew up in Israel I have been in many dangerous places throughout my life (including being lost in the Arab part of chevron for a good 20 mins the night after the itamar murder and turning into ramalah once by mistake) but I have never been nor is it my plan to be in never Yosef before mashiach comes its like asking the arabs to come for you its too risky there have been many story's there of Arabs throwing stones while everyone was there authorized and when they do start throwing the soldiers can't really do anything about it since they are not allowed to fire

+1 so much so it probably is halachically assur to go now as a makom sakana!
