Family TravelIsrael Sabbatical FamilyGespass After a lot of maneuvering around the hills of Safed, ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160001 we finally got to a place where the view was fabulous ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160002 ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160003 and sat down to lunch.

Jane did an excellent job of taking the individual photos ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160004 ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160005 ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160006 ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160008 ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160009 including Benjamin imitating Chaim the magician ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160007 and an elegant self portrait ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160010

We copied our neighbors and took a picture of the city reflected in the bank window ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160011

We then started to explore the artist area leaving some of our group to try the ice cream ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160012 We particularly liked the work in this shop ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160013 where the proprietor ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160014 was very sweet about explaining kabalistic thought to us.

Next, we went to the old part of the city where they were more serious about dress code ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160015 than we were ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160016

Since we had no Kohanim in the crowd, this was not a problem ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160017

We ended the day with a tour of the candle factory ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160020 where we saw some marvelous work ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160018 ../../../Sabbat/Pics/04.16.00Safed//P4160019
