Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Safed / Tsfat

Safed has been considered one of Judaism's Four Holy Cities, along with Jerusalem, Hebron and Tiberias; since that time, the city has remained a center of Kabbalah, also known as Jewish mysticism. Safed has been identified with Sepph, a fortified Jewish town in the Upper Galilee mentioned in the writings of the Roman-Jewish historian Josephus. After the expulsion of all the Jews from Spain in 1491, many prominent rabbis found their way to Safed, among them the Kabbalists. According to CBS figures in 2001, the ethnic makeup of the city was 99.1% Jewish and non-Arab. There are many kosher restaurants and synagogues in Safed.
