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.
