Prayer in Tzfas

Prayer in Tzfas

Chalk Pastel, 11 x 8.5

I once had a friend of mine from Tzfas over at my house as a guest for Shabbos, on Sunday I took him to the Beis Hachayim in Monsey to be mispallel at Kivrei Tzadikim. After that I showed him in the rear of the Jewish cemetery a very old cemetery that dates back to the revolutionary war. He looks around and says "Wow! but in my neighborhood, we have Kevarim of tzadikim from 300 to over 2000 years ago". I got the message!.

The Beis Hachayim in Tzfas is known for the Kedusha of who is burried there, the likes of the holy Taana Reb Pinchas ben Yair, Chana and her seven sons, Ari Hakadosh, Beis Yosef and the Alkabetz, among many other giants who even after their deaths so many years ago, are all still alive by the Torah they left for us. May their names be a zechus for us.
