1600-1700: Destruction of Tiberias

Jews continued to immigrate to the Land of Israel in the 17th century. Rabbi Avraham Azulai moved from Morocco to Hebron in 1600. Jews fleeing persecution in Spain, Germany and Italy found their way to Palestine. In 1658, Rabbi Israel Yaakov Hagiz arrived from Morocco and established the Beit Yaakov Yeshiva in Jerusalem. This century also saw the tragic destruction of the city of Tiberias by an earthquake.
