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.
We can help you create a personalized study plan,

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