Be transported to the most famous open-air market in Israel- and eat all of the assortment of delicious and exotic foods that make the market famous! Piles of dried fruits, falafel, tons of fresh produce, nuts, halavah, baklava, tabouleh, israeli salad, bamba, bissli... and so much more! This recreation of the Shuk in our Sukkah is just a little more inspiration to sign up for Birthright this January 2-12 with Hillel! This program is funded through a generous grant from Stand With Us.
What's the shuk? Here's a little Wikipedia info:
Mahane Yehuda Market (Hebrew: שוק מחנה יהודה, Shuk Mahane Yehuda), often referred to as "The Shuk" (Hebrew: השוק, HaShuq),[1] is a marketplace (originally open-air, but now partially covered) in Jerusalem. Popular with locals and tourists alike, the market's more than 250 vendors[2] sell fresh fruits and vegetables; baked goods; fish, meat and cheeses; nuts, seeds, and spices; wines and liquors; clothing and shoes; and housewares, textiles, and Judaica.[3][4]
In and around the market are falafel, shawarma, kibbeh, kebab, shashlik, kanafeh, baklava, halva, zalabiya and Jerusalem mixed grill stands, juice bars, cafes, and restaurants.[2] The color and bustle of the marketplace is accentuated by vendors who call out their prices to passersby!
