There are two Carlebach shuls, Mekarev and Bei Rav. You can get a nice Carlebach experience by Havdala so go to Breslov (main shul) Lail Shabbos. It’s a beautiful building and the davening is inspirational. They also dance which is amazing to participate in given the size of the shul and the amount of mispallelim. As an added plus, in the Breslov shul stand near the western side during Lecha Dodi looking out on shkia, understanding that YOU are in the original place where Lecha Dodi was sung. For a cheaper option than a hotel, rent a tzimmer (get a phone number from any yeshiva bachur currently learning in the aretz) and buy takeout from Mendi’s (eidah chareidis hashgacha). Most tzimmer’s offer fridges and hotplates so you’ll be ok. Enjoy the wonderful, mystical, and sacred city of Safed. And make sure to drink a Safed Mystique!
