−	Throughout its history Tzfat has served as the home of Jews from many different ethnicities and backgrounds. The Jewish community that existed during the times of the [[Crusaders in Safed\|Crusaders]] consisted mainly of Jews whose families had lived in Palestine for centuries. By the [[Ottoman Rule of Safed 1517 to 1759\|14th and 15th centuries]], Jews were arriving in Tzfat from Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Turkey and other distant points of origination.	+	Throughout its [[Safed-History\|history]] Tzfat has served as the home of Jews from many different ethnicities and backgrounds.

	Ashkanazi Jews from Eastern Europe began to immigrate to Palestine in waves during the [[Ottoman Rule of Safed 1760 to 1918\|18th century]] and many settled in Tzfat. Language difficulties and varying customs prevented these new immigrants from fully integrating with the existing Sepharadic community. Following World War II thousands of refugees arrived in Tzfat, both those who fled from North Africa countries and European refugees who survived the Holocaust. They settled in mixed neighborhoods of Tzfat and blended their traditions and customs.
