Sunday, July 20th: Group 8 woke up in
Hanaton this morning and after Shacharit and breakfast went to the mystical city of
Tzfat. Among the m
any people who came from Tzfat are the prominent kabbalists, Isaac Luria and Moshe Kordovero. Besides the kabbalists, Safed also attracted numerous other Jewish scholars and spiritualists, including Joseph Caro, the author of the Shulchan Aruch and Shlomo Halevi Alkabetz, composer of the Sabbath hymn Lecha Dodi. The group had a tour of the city and three of the synagogues, and
had an opportunity to go shopping at the famous candle factory. After lunch at this beautiful place, they went to
Acco, a city in the western Galilee, which was used by the British as a prison mainly for political prisoners, and as a location for a gallows. Jewish underground movement activists, such as Zeev Jabotinsky and Shlomo Ben-Yosef, an Irgun activist, were jailed in the citadel-prison of Acco. From there they drove to Rosh Hanikra where they walked through the beautiful grottos created by the water hitting the rock for hundreds of years. After a special mincha service for the fast day of the 17th of
Tammuz, the group rested for a bit, before ending the fast and eating dinner.
