THE TOMB OF EZEKIEL AND THE TOWN OF KEFIL, NEAR ANCIENT BABYLON 

 There are four shrines in the Bagdad region to which the Jews of Mesopotamia make monthly visits — 

 the tomb of Ezekiel in the village of Kefil, the tomb of Ezra near Korna, the tomb of Joseph, and the well 

 of Daniel. The Jews bury here their chief priests, a right which the Moslems at times contest.
