"Tomb of yonasan Ben uziel greatest student of Hillel hazaken. When he would learn any bird flying above head would get burnt. Big segulah for shidduchim. Some people go on top of the tziyon and circle around the dome 7 times while reciting psalms and afterwards tie a tichel (kerchief) to the railing as a segulah to finding their spouse. Not my chill -but hey! why not try it?!"
