    Bosell house is a nice building with beautiful architecture.

    This house was once a scottish mission , sanatorium and a hospital.

    when i went to Zefat the house was in a bad condition and i hope the mayor will fix this situation because it is a very beautiful building.

    The sun and the mountain
    by ophiro
    The view from the city is very beautiful.
    Meron mountain , the kineret and great sunset and sunrise.

    i think it is very magical and sacred to smell the air in the mountains near the city.

    Wax Sculpture
    by Jackiekg
    Call for opening hours.
    Here you can see hand-made artistic candles (see photo), wax artwork, and wax sculptures. Have a guided explanation about the candles and see how they are made, as well as a tour of the factory to see the workers and artists in action.

    My friends and I enjoyed the visit to this factory, you will see sculptures to surprise you. My boyfriend and I bought a few sets as gifts for friends abroad.

    The "Klezmer" Festival

    Klezmer Festival
    by Bregman
    Every summer there is a Klezmer festival in Zefat. Kleyzmerim are the the traditional eastern-European Jewish musicians who used to play in weddings and other events. This music is the the Jewish "Blues" music. It developed from the religious hymns of the Jews of eastern-Europe, the brithplace of the Hassidic movement. Part of the Hassidic ritual is music and dances in which the followers go into almost a state of trance. From all of this developed this music. The most prominent musical instrument associated with this music is the clarinet with its sound resembling a weeping person.

    Hameiri Dairy Zefat
    by Jackiekg
    This building has a lot of history connected to it. It has been in the family - passed father to son - for 150 years and was reopened in 1950 and has been in production ever since. Within this building is a factory shop (see my travelogue on Zefat), and a restaurant selling light dairy meals. See a magnificent view of Mount Meron from the balcony of the Hameiri Dairy.
    See historical artifacts such as butter and cream makers, a milk churn and cheese cutter. For purchase are Zefat (the original hard, salty cheese) and Brinza cheeses, olive oil and fine wines.

    Yosef Caro Synagogue
    by Bregman, 1 more photos
    Rabbi Yosef Caro was one of the most influential people in the Jewish history. His book Shulchan Aruch (Set Table), even though was written in the 16th century, is still considered the ultimate authority in Jewish religious laws. This little synagogue is attribued to Yosef Caro. It is located in the old city, right next to the artists galleries.
