Washington D.C. Community Trip - Blog 3 - Tzfat

In the afternoon we made a four hour stop in the city of Tzfat in Northern Israel. Tzfat is a mystical city that is home to Kabballah. The city is beautifully set in the mountains and has an abundance of art. We went inside two synagogues, one sephhardic and one ashkenazi. Avraham, the artist formerly known as Robert, hailing from Detroit, showed us his kabballah inspired studio, art, lifestyle & personality. Learning about the art & mysticism of Kabballah, walking the stone paved streets, and finnagling for less expensive mezuzahs completed the experience that was Tzfat.
