Surrounded by the green hills of the Galilee, away from the hustle and bustle of city life distractions, it is an ideal place for study and contemplation. It is known that the air in Tzefat is on a higher level than anywhere else in the world, making it conducive to learning and clearing the mind. The holiness and peaceful atmosphere seeps into one′s being. Talmudic Sages, such as Rabbi Yitzchok Luria (the Arizal), Rabbi Yosaif Caro, author of the Shulchan Aruch, Rabbi Shlomo Alkabetz, author of Lechah Dodi, are but three of the many giants of Torah Scholarship that rest upon the hillside of Tzefat.

Tzefat, is a city which beckons you not to leave. Just one more day, one more hour, one more farewell embrace.

Sing “Lecha dodi” in any of the ancient synagogues in the old city! You will never forget it! It is not just the old stone floors or arched ceilings which will captivate your imagination, it is the generations, the Torah, prayers, and deeds of the Jews of Tzefat which are imbued into those stones and arches with the sparks of the Divine that will speak to you. That is what will stir you. That is what will awaken YOU to connect and become one with eternity!
