(NYT11) SAFED, Israel -- Feb. 13, 2003 -- ISRAEL-GRAVES -- To attract the living, Safed, the antique center of Jewish mysticism has sent out an invitation for the dead. The town fathers are appealing to Jews overseas to make their final resting place among the holy men in the hillside cemetery, partly in hopes that their families will become frequent visitors here in the green, mountainous Galilee, in Israel's far north. Tourism has all but collapsed during the conflict with the Palestinians. Safed is offering its graves starting at $3,950. Orthodox Jews undertaking pilgrimage to Safed stand under the "Wishing Tree," as hundreds of plastic bags are knotted around the otherwise bare branches of the tree, Thursday, Feb. 13, 2003. The trees were near the graves of holy men, and their roots are believed to reach down to the bodies. People seeking blessings -- for health, marriage, safety -- knot the bags, or handkerchiefs or hair-ties, to branches to communicate more directly with the deceased.
