If going to kever Shmuel ha'Navi, I heard that there's a beautiful area, a spring below somewhere, Ma'Ayan is it called? Can anyone clarify this & where to find it?
Thanks so much

I went just a few weeks ago! It's right next to ramot and givaat zeev! Not sure where you'll be coming from.
It was really nice. I didn't really see the spring but it said there was one.

I helped DD do a project on kever Shmuel haNavi a few years ago. I think it's called Maayan Chana IIRC.
My kids go there 1-2 times a year with school and none of them can remember ever being showed the maayan

Maayan just means spring. There are a few in the area. I am unaware of one by the lever which is the highest point in the area.

Thank you so much for all of the replies.
Aside from the obvious & fundamental hishtadlus of davening, does anyone know of something in particular to do there regarding Chana, such as a zchus for having children?

Is there a kever for Chana?

I think that the folk belief is that she and Elkana are also buried at the site.

As far as davening for children, maybe a visit to Shilo, where Chana davened?

After my stillbirth 8 years ago I went to Israel for Pesach. I went to Shmuel HaNavi's Kever and also Kever Rochel to Davern for a healthy baby. 7 months later I was pregnant and went back for a Bar Mitzvah and again went to the two Kevers. I made a promise I would name the baby either Shmuel of Rochel if it came out alive and I would come back with the baby within a year. BH we had a healthy baby boy so Shmuel he was. Bh its his 7th birthday today. Within 3 months of him being born we went back to both Kevers with him in my arms. A totally emotional trip. Now each time I have been to Isreal we go to each Kever they just have a special place in my heart.

I know many women who daven at kever shmuel for this reason, for the zchut of children. The story of chana and shmuel is an amazing one, and when you add the power of tefila, the kever of the child chana had because of her tefilot, shmuel, is the perfect place to daven for children, in my opinion.
