Trying to think of a Halloween image, I remembered a mystical night-time experience I had in Israel at the Graveyard in Tsfat where many kabbalah mystics are buried. At night, every night, devotees and family light yahrzeit candles in memory of the deceased and the whole graveyard glows and twinkles. I did not capture that on film, but I did take a daytime snapshot of the hillside graveyard below the gorgeous tiny hilltop city of Tsfat. (Photo taken in August 2011)
