  • Safed, Sea of Galilee, Jerusalem
    Pilgrimage to Israel (2007)- Album (part 2) Shops and cobblestone streets in Safed -- The holy city of Safed, perched on a mountain top in the upper Galilee, conjures many images to all lovers of the city. The romantic flavor of narrow cobblestone lanes and ancient synagogues fills one's lungs with a new spirit. The rusty old houses with their domed roofs clearly identifies the city with the mysterious past of the Holy Land. Abuhav Synagogue in Safed (Zefat) -- This 16th century synagogue was named after Rabbi Yitzchak (Isaac) Abuhav of Portugal. Abuhav Synagogue -- Historical sources indicate that the original Abuhav synagogue was destroyed in the 1759 earthquake. This building, known then as the Great Synagogue, was subsequently renamed Abuhav Synagogue. It houses the famous "Abuhav Torah Scroll," scribed by Rabbi Abuhav himself. Interior of the Great (Abuhav) Synagogue Interior of synagogue Ceiling (oval) of synagogue Twelve tribes of Israel (surround dome) Some of the symbols I could decipher were: Issachar=grapes, Joseph=sheaves, Naphtali=deer, Asher=Olive tree, Gad=camp Tribe (Zodiac) symbols -- According to the Kabbalists, each tribe represents a sign of the zodiac. Thus the symbols are shown around the dome. Some of the signs (left to right): Zebulun=ship, Judah=lion, Simeon=vase&sword, Reuben=field, Benjamin=wolf. Inside the synagogue – wall paintings; symbolic curtains, benches, tables, etc. Inside the synagogue The Holy Ark -- Upon entering a synagogue, the Kabbalists would recite the formula: “I take upon myself the positive commandment to love my neighbor as myself.” (Levit. 19:18) They sought to come close to G-d not only through prayer but also by drawing closer to their fellows.
