On the first day of Chol Hamoed we went to the Meiri Musem for a tour. There was a nice guide who had done a Master's thesis on Tsfat. The museum is full of interesting old Tsfat collectibles, facts, documents, pictures, and more. Highly recommended.
It also fit in the budget really well. 18 NIS per adult and 8 NIS per child. It was a touch rainy, so no major outings seemed appropriate.
Our kids 9 and 11 were the perfect age for the museum. They've had enough history background to enjoy it, and listened carefully to the guide.
This is a view of a "house for 8" that is made of typical Tsfat houswares of old.
This is a sweet display of wooden walking sticks of "Ziknei Tsfat", the Elders of Tsfat. The hall is dedicated to that mythical creature, the elderly sages of Safed. Only all the biographical material is real.

Thanks for putting up all the great pictures. I'm going to Israel in a few months and Safed is one of my top places to visit! I'll keep looking back.
