With all the waiting and “processing” today we were in Airport until 8 pm, tired and hungry, after eating last in the plane at 6 am. In addition, one of Eber’s suitecases split open with the contents on the ground, and we had to stand in another line for insurance form. But finally  we were on our way to Tzfat, and the problems started to recede.

First, the taxi driver picked up on the way two yeshiva bachurs who were hitchhiking and going to Tzfat, and in lieu of money which they did not have, he requested a dvar Torah, which they did with a lot of feeling, and fluency, standing at the door next to the driver – “only in Israel” moment which for us was extremely enjoyable.

Then, after finally arriving in Tzfat after 11pm, hungry and exausted, we easily found an open shavarma place, with delicious food. But even this was not without problems: they had 10 customers, but only one pita left, and we were very fortunate to get this last pita, a half each, but the customers who came later could not get any! We wery happy to get a half pita, as tomorrow is a fast day.

There were some other stores still open, and nice religious music playing softly. Our rented place was clean and welcoming. Definitely feels like a right town for us. We felt like we never left.
