Tsfat

Our visit to Tsfat began with a tour of two synagogues in the Old City. Covered skin required - thank goodness for pashminas.

We are at lunch now at a banquet spaced called Red Kahn. It is like stepping back into history - stone, arches, and stained glass. There is a man outside grilling fresh pita. The best hummus ever, salad, salmon, rice and lentils, and green beans - quite the feast.

There are performers dressed in "spiritual, earthy-crunchy religious Jew" garb (that description was the subject of an interesting conversation at the table), playing soothing music and singing. And we are getting a history of the area.

We'll have time for shopping after lunch, and then we are off to Jerusalem!
