Ascentof Safed is designed to be a place for relaxation, reflection, interaction,
and spiritual exploration, where you can grow and learn in your own way, at your

the Old City of Tzfat.

and attend study and meditation sessions at your leisure, while staying in our
great hostel with its spectacular views.
