Visit 16th Century Tzfat
Tzfat's "Golden Age" was in the 1500s when thousands of Jews, among them the great Kabbalists of the day, immigrated to Tzfat after the Spanish Inquisition. In the 18th and 19th centuries earthquakes triggered landslides that buried the old homes and synagogues of the 1500s but a Tzfat-based work-study program, Livnot U'lehibanot, has -- for over 35 years -- been excavating the 16th century ruins and making them habitable again. Visit the Livnot Visitors Center and descend into some of these ancient buildings that are buried under today's modern city of Tzfat. Located on Alkabetz street across from the Yemenite "lachuch" (Yemenite pancake stand) near the stairs that go up to the Ari Ashkanazi synagogue.At Livnot U'Lehibanot Tourist Information Center on Alkabetz Street in the Old Jewish Quarter (just below the Ari Ashkanazi synagogue.) 04-6924427
