Shalom Zachor in Tzfat

While Ema was resting at Sha'arei Tzedek over Shabbos, Abba took the kids up to Tzfat with Derech Etz Chaim for the Shalom Zachor. We took an Egged Bus from Jerusalem and the kids did pretty well on the 3 1/2 hour trip (We took the back row and each one got the corner window seat)



We stopped off at a rest stop in Afula and the kids were thankfully able to use the bathroom. There was a beautiful field that was lying fallow because of Shmittah so we snapped a picture

We got to the hotel about 4:30 PM after walking from the Tzfat Central Bus Station. We stayed at the Carmel Hotel and roomed with Uncle Josh in Room #7

On Friday we walked down Rechov Yerushalayim in Tzfat and bought some chickpeas for the Shalom Zachor and ice pops for the kids. We got showered and changed for Shabbos and took some pictures around the hotel.

Abba took the kids to Mincha at the Chernobyl shul, but during kabbalat shabbos they wanted to go back to the hotel and luckily I caught Maariv at Kosov. The Shalom Zachor was very nice and it was nice to have the ruach of the yeshiva and all of the rebbeim. Shabbos Day Abba davened at the early minyan and was able to come back before the kids woke up with Uncle Joshua.

After lunch we went to the highest point in Tzfat (The Fortress) and we could see the Kinneret to the South and Meron to the West and what a gorgeous view. Then we went to the park and played with Rabbi Binyamin Wolff's children. After Seudat Shlishit, Maariv and Havdallah we packed up and came home on the Yeshiva bus.

Sorry we don't have any pictures of Shabbos, but we took this cute one on the bus as we pulled out of Tzfat
