A Sofer STaM among those evacuated from his home due to the massive fire in Tzefas on Sunday, shares an amazing discovery. He explains that at some point he was permitted to go back inside his home and take some items. Amongst the items he took was a Sefer Torah he was working on. Amazingly, the following Pasuk was where he had stopped writing:
השמע עם קול אלק’ מדבר מתוך האש,
The Sofer stated he views this as a “Wondrous revelation of HKB”H. I got up and realized where I am holding [in writing the Sefer] and that HKB”H runs everything in the world and within the Midas HaDin, one sees Midas HaChessed too.”

YWN uses “Beit Shemesh” but not “Tzfat.” People in Israel, even chareidim, do not call it “Tzfas.” Only people living in chu”l do so, thinking that somehow it’s holier.
Because it was Tzfas long before it was Tzfat, but there was not Beis Shemesh until it was built recently. Takah and mamash.
Apparently they do call it tzfas, seeing as the writer is writing from eretz yisroel.
