−	By the ~~1600s~~ the Golden Age of Safed was waning. Whereas the top scholars of the 16th century had made their homes in Tzfat, by the early 17th century the new generation of great rabbis was again settling in Jerusalem. The Jews of Safed were at the mercy of raids by local Druze and Bedouin tribesmen who were at war with the [[Ottoman Rule of Safed 1517 to 1759\|Ottoman rulers]] for control. Sultan Selim II deported 1,500 textile workers and their families to Cyprus in 1576, ending Tzfat’s dominance over the region’s textile trade. Bandits ruled the roads in the 17th century and the ruling Ottomans struggled to maintain their domination of the region.	+	By the 1600's the Golden Age of Safed was waning.
