Question
Shalom to the honored Rabbi,
What is the definition of a “gollel” in Mishnah Ohalot, chapter 2, mishnah 4? Is only the stone that covers the grave, which is placed over the opening, considered a gollel, or is the tombstone that we have nowadays also considered a gollel?
With blessing and thanks

Answer
Shalom u-verakhah
On this matter Rashi and Tosafot (Berachot 19b) disagree regarding the definition of a “gollel”; see there.
