    Was Rochel Imainu the only Altruistic One of the Matriarchs and Patriarchs?

    The main point here seems to be that Rochel Imainu preferred,  desired and woukd have  chosen to be buried where she could comfort and advocate fur the yidden going into golus. Was that not possible down the road just a bit in Chevron? If  Beis Lechem was a better place for that, why weren't Adam and Chava and the Avos and Imahos also buried there? If Rochel preferred to be buried where she could altruistically  comfort and advocate for the yidden going into holds, does that imply that the other Avos and Imahos did not so desire to do, altruistically? And, how is it that Rochel just happened to pass away  at that spot? Another example of "coincidence being Hashem's way of remaining anonymous"? 

      Finally.  Why is that very chasidic groups today refuse to go to the Kosel, but do go to Kever Rochel just a few miles away, both sites being under the security of the same government?
