Mystical City’s Newest Yeshiva Adds Creative Touch

by Yehuda Sugar – Chabad.org

Students and faculty from Yeshiva Temimei Darech entertain passersby in Safed, Israel.

Every Friday, Chabad-Lubavitch yeshiva students across the globe head out of their study halls and take to the streets for pre-Sabbath interactions with locals: On the lookout for Jewish passersby, tourists and shopkeepers, they help men don the prayer boxes known as tefillin, hand out Sabbath candles to women, and answer questions about Judaism to anyone who asks.
