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.
 
  
== Midrachov ==
 
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.
 
  
=== History ===

<table id="jmp-topbanner">
Jerusalem Street sits above the [[Old City Safed|Old City]] and the [[Artists Quarter Safed|Artist Quarter]]. There were a few hotels and other large buildings on Jerusalem Street before [[Safed War of Independence|Tzfat’s Liberation in 1948]] including the [[Safed Mercazi hotel|Mercazi Hotel]] and the Rothschild Hospital. After the [[Tarpat 1929 Arab Riots in Safed|Arab riots of 1929]] the [[British Rule of Safed 1918 to 1948|British]] established a lookout post on Jerusalem Street to ensure that the Arabs did not enter the Old Jewish Quarter. The British conducted patrols along Jerusalem Street.

<tr><th><h2>Featured Article</h2></th></tr>
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.
