On a recent trip to Israel I discovered the charming village of Safed, full of art galleries and cozy corners. I purchased a painting which I fell in love with, at Olive Tree Fine Art Gallery and they arranged air-shipment to Spain in less than a week. Thanks for an excellent service, I´d love to come back.

The BBQ restaurant for the cowboyz of Biriya forest. The restaurant's windows overlook the Hula Valley and the Hermon, and the table serves a t-bon steak, sirloin or hamburger, the Vegetarians will settle for quiches. Because of the location of the ranch in nature, we would like you to inform us in advance of special needs.
It’s recommended that you visit this meat restaurant it’s very good. We enjoyed every minute there! The food was great and the staff were very pleasant.

When I first walked into the Gallery and met Moshe, he immediately took me back to see the Chagalls and, even more impressively, truly emotive, exquisite sculptures by Holocaust survivor Nicky Imber, whose uncle Naftali Herz Imber wrote "Hatikva," the National Anthem of Israel. The depth of emotion evoked by these pieces speaks to the hearts of anyone wishing to overcome the pain of the past and look to the hope (hatikva) of the future. A limited number of sculptures were cast and the proceeds go to mentor young Israeli artists. Beyond the Imbers and Chagalls, the gallery is filled with exciting and beautiful works--large and small--from local Tsfat artists.

The old city of Safed should be seen on a damp winter’s day with mist swirling around the tiny stone houses, or an hour before sunset on a sunny day when the light is golden. Home of the Kabbalah in the sixteenth century, it is still home to lots of cranks and saints. One of the four holy cities of the Holy Land, while Tiberias on the lake is water, Hebron tomb of the patriarchs is earth, Jerusalem which was burned is fire, Safed is air, the spirit. Some of the houses are crumbling away, others have been renewed. Just wander and look. And talk to people .

This synagogue is a must visit for any person seeking a spiritual environment for their prayers. The atmosphere is respectful and the prayers conducted with the emphasis on maximizing spirituality amidst like minded indiviudals. We attended the first prayer services at dawn and found the synagogue to be the perfect place for soulful connection and the synagogue itself a beautiful reminder of all the magnificent synagogues which represent the magnetic attraction to Safad as one of the holiest cities in Israel

This gorgeous synagogue - and one of the oldest in Israel - is wonderfully historical and spiritual. It is related to Rabbi Isaac Luria (acronym: Ari) and combines a deeply-rooted history with religious centering and Jewish mysticism. It's gorgeously built and decorated, and takes you back in time several centuries. Try to come here with a tour guide to learn more about the history.

This 16th-century synagogue, built in the memory of Rabbi Isaac Luria (known by his acronym, Ari), is centering, spiritual, and calming amidst the bustle. It's gorgeously built without being overwhelming, and is a calm place to pray and reflect. Try to come here with a tour guide who will explain the history and religious significance of the synagogue - we did, and we learned a lot.

This place was a vortex of energy having been the office and home of Rabbi Yoseph Karo who systematically codified all of Jewish Law. The synagogue is absolutely beautiful with plush cushions overlooking the paronamic views of mountains. If you have a chance I highly suggest you ask the owner to see the cave below which was the actual house and study room of this spiritual giant. I feel so indebted and privileged to have gone here and really excited for my next trip back.
