Tzfat, Israel’s highest city in upper Galilee, is one of the 4 holy cities of Israel with Jerusalem, Tiberias and Hebron.

The Kabbalistic wisdom, the oldest in the history of mankind, investigates and explains the codes of universe and for thousands of years very few Jewish mystics knew the secrets of Kabbalah. For many centuries Tzfat has been the home of masters of Kabbalah and after their expulsion from Spain in 1492 many jews arrived in Tzfat, seeking refuge in tolerant Ottoman Empire, attracting the best scholars of Kabbalah. The Tzfat’s modern-day mystics come from different background, descendants of traditional rabbis but also baalei t’shuva, “masters of return” turned to Hasidic Judaism after a life in a agnostic background.
