The floors are not cracked in Zefat. They just have stress marks of where they have to expand, because Zefat is a living, breathing city. It is alive with Judaism and today every kid on our trip connected to their lost lost grandparent named Zefat.
We got our first real "taste" of Israel there as right off the bus we all scrambled to the nearest falafel stand. Then it was off to the mikvah for men where we were fortunate enough to spiritually renew ourselves in freezing cold mountain water. I can speak for us all when I say that experience made us grow closer as friends. The women witnessed art in action, watching master glass blower display his craft in a meditative peace.
We regrouped the tour of the city continued when we met with a man named Avraham, who gave a us brief glimpse of of how to enlighten our souls through Kabbalah.
After a small shopping stint, we learned of the more recent history of Zefat, and the scares that can grow from love and war in the holy city. I can safely say we were all inspired. We all grew. We all learned a little more about ourselves there. And most importantly we all realized how grateful we are to be here.
