Mahane Yehuda Market

One of my favorite places in all of Israel is the Mahane Yehuda Market or "the shuk." It's a huge market filled with merchants selling anything you can think of. You want freshly squeezed juice? Done. You want fresh fish? Done. You want any kind of kosher gummy? Done. You want meat? Done. You want amazing delicious cheeses? Done. 

Need I go on? 

Today we decided to spend the day at the shuk walking around and soaking in the sights. The open air market is an experience. We walked up and down the aisles watching people purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. Today was a great day to go and take photos. When we went last Friday it was impossible to walk anywhere, it seemed all of Jerusalem was at the shuk purchasing food for shabbat.

I want to fill today's post with pictures of the shuk, not only one of the my favorite places in Israel but one of my favorite places in the world.

The avocado is the size of Sadie's head.

I don't think these are organic, and yes, they are huge!

Beautiful tea for sale.

A variety of tea mixes including saffron tea.

Kiwis of all shapes and sizes.

Fresh kosher fish. Delicious!

This is a fresh tahini press. The machine in the middle actually presses the sesame seeds together to make delicious tahini.

Rows and rows of beautiful pastries everywhere.

Look at the size of this market - it goes back a lot further than you expect. And there are multiple alleys leading in different directions filled with merchants. It's a very wonderful place to do your grocery shopping.

    Meet the Blogger!

    I'm a mom. A writer. A lover of good fantasy. A proponent of nursing when possible. A birth advocate. I am absolutely horrible at keeping my house clean or the dishes washed or the laundry done. I strongly believe in women having a positive birth. When we start to respect women's rights to birth the way they want, we can start to treat women as equal people in this world.
