The name of the city of Safed is associated with mystery and secrets, and not without reason. In the 16th century, magical Safed became an important center of Kabbalah. Esteemed figures such as Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, Rabbi Chaim Vital, Rabbi Shmuel Vital, Rabbi Yosef Caro, Rabbi Shlomo Alkabetz, and Rabbi Moshe Cordoviro all lived and worked in Safed during the 16th to 18th centuries.
Safed retains much of its mystical charm, with an enduring allure that continues to attract those drawn to Kabbalah. The city is home to artists and creators who express Kabbalistic theories through their art, as well as diverse communities belonging to various streams of Judaism. Join me for a walk through the magical alleys and historic fortress of Safed. Together, we will meet local residents, explore the city’s unique history during the War of Independence, and delve into its enchanting atmosphere.
