Jerusalem Street has been the hub of [[Safed|Tzfat’s]] commercial life for many years. The street circles the “[[Metzuda of Safed|Metzuda]]” -- Citadel -- of Tzfat and offers shoppers and browsers the opportunity to find almost anything that they want in small shops and eateries.

Jerusalem Street is known as the “Midrachov” of Tzfat because part of Jerusalem Street is a “midracha” -- pedestrian walkway -- which is located  alongside a lane for vehicular traffic. Jerusalem street is a one-lane, one-way street in all directions and circles the Tzfat Citadel. It is the main shopping area of the city.

In 2007, a large portion of the road was again renovated with the goal of replacing antiquated water and sewage pipes underneath the street. One portion of the street split open into a huge sinkhole. This sinkhole exposed arches and structures which had been built hundreds of years ago. These structures were covered over by landslides which were caused by [[Safed 1837 Earthquake|earthquakes]]. After archaeologists completed their investigation, construction workers worked for  several months to close up the opening.
