When the Ari z"l and the other giants of Spanish Jewry arrived in the city of Safed, they transformed the city into a center of sacredness and Torah study, benefiting the entire Galil. Concurrent with the sublime innovations of the kabbalah and the Shulchan Aruch was Jewish ingenuity in capitalism. Rabbi Wein examines both sides of Jewish life in the Galil - the spiritual and the economic - and shows how Jews sustained themselves during a period of unparalleled creativity and enlightenment.
