this just might be my favorite place in jerusalem... a simple market with lots of life.
(in hebrew: "Shuk" -with long U sound)
So come on, jump on bus #21 with me for 5.5 shekels, let's go to the shuk and get some challah! (shabbat braided bread, view at end)
what's this? a bean? a root?
warm blankets
HALVA! HALVA! HALVA!!! huge bricks of halva! (sweet sesame bar)
jewish hats for men
some jews believe not to cut the hair on sides of their heads
(in Leviticus)
yum nuts.
mmm... fresh pita!
cute shop.
I'll give someone a shekel if they can guess what the tall red powder stuff is! :)
incredible teas!
Challah -shabbat bread
(for meal/communion on friday nights, which i've done every friday with friends since i've been here!)
