Kabbalah Heritage Walk

We had a great time. Rabbi was very informative. Learned a lot. We highly recommend this amazing tour.

Incredibly knowledgeable and meaningful tour, highly recommend! He took time to explain all the history and took us around all the parts, the synagogues, the artist quarters and more. You can’t do this by yourself and this is the best tour!

The guide made the history of Safed and Kabbalah come alive. He was patient and easy to understand. This was a dynamite tour. For two hours we walked around on cobblestoned narrow winding streets. He answered all my many questions and maintained an easy comfortable pace. We stopped for rests, pictures and water. He set the high water mark for a very personal educational and fun walking your. Bravo!! Five stars!! I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Israel in general and Kabbalah specifically.

It was great experience to learn about the history Tzfat and to understand the history and background on Kabbalah

This tour is a fantastic way to learn about the history of Tzfat and its important role in Judaism. Rabbi Kopel was very knowledgeable and easy to engage with during Q&A.

Very informative tour given by friendly local Rabbi with comprehensive knowledge of Safed and Jewish ideology. Highly recommended!

This was a very enjoyable tour of the old city of Tzfat. Our guide, Rabbi Shmuel, was excellent and patient in explaining and my mother and I learned a lot about the history of Tzfat, the history of Kabbalah, and the history of Kabbalah in Tzfat. I really appreciated the Rabbi's knowledge and willingness to explain and answer all of our questions. My mother and I both left this tour with a deep appreciation for the place and the history of the place. Thank you Rabbi Shmuel!

Rabbi Kopel did an amazing job with this tour. He was very personal and down to earth and spoke to the level of knowledge of our family. He is extremely knowledgeable about the historic, spiritual, and religious aspects of the city. He did an amazing job of tying how the Kabalah in Judaism can be used in our lives. He also showed us some historically significant landmarks that are important for Judaism. I would highly recommend Rabbi Kopel if you want to learn about Tzfat, Judaism, and Kaballah.

Rabbi Kopel’s knowledge, personal warmth, encouragement of and patience with answering questions is exemplary. His students are blessed to have such a teacher.

Rabbi Shmuel gave a very comprehensive tour of Zfat and the synagogues. He also gave an excellent explanation of Kabbalah and mysticism. Would highly recommend.

What a fascinating place with a fascinating history. The Rabbi was very knowledgeable and was very engaging. It’s a big 👍

Rabbi Kopel is eloquent and quietly impassioned as he guides you through the deep history of Sfat and Kabbalah. He stops to point out the spot where Kabbalat Shabbat service was conceived, and he talks at some length about the role of the Ari (Isaac Luria) in birthing Kabbalah -- "the wine of Torah," as the Rabbi explains. He is a terrific guide, generous with his knowledge and his time. There is no sense of hurry, and ample time to talk, to sit quietly in sacred spaces, and to reflect. We came away from this tour with a deeper feeling for the mystical dimensions of Judaism, as well as some specific knowledge. The feeling is, in truth, harder to communicate -- but this Rabbi knows exactly how. A delight!

The tour of Safed with Rabbi Kopel was a highlight in our trip to Israel. My husband and I were so touched by his generosity, passion and knowledge. The tour gives you a deep appreciation of the place, history and origins of the Kabbalah. He was very thoughtful in curating the tour to our interests and made an effort to get to know us - it was so special to have so much time with so learned, spiritual and open hearted. Can't recommended it enough!

Rabbi Kopel was generous with both his knowledge and his heart. We walked and I learned a lot about the key figures, landmarks and general concepts of Kabbalah (as much as one can in an hour or so). We also had a very exciting and animated conversation about Jewish spirituality. He’s a wonderful guy, and you’ll learn a lot in a short period of time.

Rabbi Kopel was so knowledgeable and interesting, and he really made us think. It was a wonderful and insightful tour, I recommend it highly.

Great experience at the beautiful city . Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to see a lot and learned a lot.

It was a very interesting and informative tour! The Rabbi was very well versed and knew the place very well!

If you came to Sefad to understand the place as the cradle of modern Kabbalah and you want to feel the holiness and uniqueness of the place, I can think of no better guide than Rabbi Kopel. He knows all about the buildings, the Torah scrolls, and the adornments of the synagogue buildings, but the real joy is learning about the lives of the great Kabbalists and scholars who elevated the city to historic status. His knowledge is deep and vast and based on personal experience. If you want to go the third step, past the historical, ask Rabbi Kopel about the essential teachings of Kabbalah. He is generous with his knowledge. Wear comfortable shoes.

Rabbi Kopel came to us highly recommended from a friend and did not disappoint. He was passionate, extremely knowledgeable, and very energetic. If you’re in tzfat and you’re looking to deepen your understanding of the complex history of the land, Rabbi Kopel should be your guide!!

This was the best way to see Tzfat and learn about it's rich history while touring all the important landmarks. Rabbi Kopel is incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful and engaging. Just magnificent. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Tzfat.

I cannot recommend this tour enough. Every minute of the tour was valuable and meaningful! I truly gained a different understanding of what makes Tzfat a mystical city and felt a deeper connection to it at the end. Also, Rabbi Kaplan was careful to point out all those places we should go without him after the tour where we wouldn't need a guide and in doing so helped us not only to find other attractions in Tzfat but also to maximize the time of our tour.

We had a great time discoverable the history of Safed. The stones and bricks came alive as we explored 500 year old synagogues, visited the prayer houses of masters of mysticism and were introduced th fascinating stories and legends of the old city of Safed.

The Rabbi was very knowledgeable and provided interesting information regarding the story of how Tsfat is considered one of the 4 sacred cities. We visited several historic synagogues, and learned who the were the Rabbis that had prayed there. I highly recommend to book this tour.

My favourite part of the Kabbalah walk was the Kabbalah information share by Rabbi Kople as we visited the Kabbalah Quarter of the ancient city of Tzfat. The towering concepts were easily understood and they illuminated our minds and hearts. The $45 fee was tremendous value compared to the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent on Kabbalah books and classes. I would recommend this educational walk to anyone interested in Kabbalah history and Kabbalah inspiration.

Rabbi Shmuel skillfully assessed our family's background, interests, and questions. Throughout the tour he made sure to specifically highlight our personal connection points within the amazing Tzfat experience. Kabbalah is so tough to explain and even harder to make it meaningful in 90 minutes. This tour really delivered

Rabbi Kopel gave us a great tour of Tzfat. We went to ancient synagogues, including ones that most tours do not visit. He gave us detailed explanations about each synagogue, the sites in between visits and added in Kabbalah and Jewish wisdom facts. He also answered all of our questions in a thorough yet relatable manner- ask him your questions! I am really happy that we did this tour, it made our trip to Tzfat complete.

this Meditation is well beyond what I expected. I left with great joy and with the feeling I had repaired my deepest core. I believe it is a fantastic and indispensable complement to the historical and artistic activities you can find in Tzfat. Highly recommended!

This was such an amazing experience. I didn't realize how much the ideas of Kabbalah meant to me till I joined this activity. It will blow your mind! I don't understand how people could come to Tzfat and not have a Kabbalah experience.
