Mea Shearim Street

Neighborhood :
West Jerusalem
The neighborhood, quite fashionable and modern in the 1870s when it was established, is now the home of many ultra-Orthodox Jewish sects. Although it now has a rather shabby appearance, the neighborhood is really full of life, with many institutions for religious study, schools for the neighborhood children, and shops. Here you can buy almost anything in the Judaica line - mezuzah cases, challah covers, tefillin, religious books, shofars, kosher food. A special market opens to sell the Four Species before the holiday of Sukkot, and during Chanukah, every window will be lit with oil lamps. Dress modestly and men and women should not walk together.
