Things to do in Tsfat - Pesach 2016

4/10/2016

 
Here are just a few activities happening over Pesach in this beautiful, mystical town. The best way to see Tsfat?  Just wander along the cobblestoned alleys of the Old City, pop into the ancient shuls and marvel at the sweeping views of the mountains and the Kinneret.

Uncover Tsfat’s History at Beit Hameiri
This fascinating museum is free for you to peruse over chol hameod. Yehezkel Hameiri, a journalist and researcher, spent 20 years restoring this five-story building and adding many antiquities from Tsfat plus photographs, archives, paintings and collections of old timers’ tales.  
There are also many museums, galleries and archeological parks all over the north that offer free admission during chol hamoed.

Tsfati Musical Hallel
If you like Carlebach-style prayer, Tzfat is the place to be for chol hameod. If you like to play, bring your instruments to The House of Love and Prayer and the Beirav synagogues. Many people bring guitars, flutes, violins and drums. They sing and dance, then sing some more.
