Safed, Israel
Eyal Riess (L) from the International Center for Tzfat Kabbalah and artist Michael Chouraqui study religious texts together in the northern town of Safed May 26, 2010. Safed -- also known as Tzfat -- is where the tourism boom Israel is enjoying with a lull in violence comes with a spiritual twist, thanks in part to the interest the Queen of Pop takes in Jewish Kabbalah mysticism, which has roots in the town.
