B"H
Pictures of empty chairs and deserted alleyways were shown in a local newspaper. According to reports, there were more stands selling cheap wares than performance bandstands. This years' Klezmer Festival in Tzfat was the least Klezmerdik and least attended in history.
Most insulting was the fact that a Klezmer performer who was anxiously awaited by fans, was bumped from performing because a TV star showed up and wanted to do his "schtick". How crass. How embarrassing.

B"H I am gratified to be able to change the name of this blog to "REASONS TO LIVE IN TZFAT AND NOT". I once, perforce, called this blog "Reasons Not To Live in Tzfat". Lately there are more reasons to live here and that should be admitted and celebrated.
