Tour of bakeries and tashlantias in Mea Shearim and the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods

It all started with a rumor that on Thursday nights, something unusual happens in the Mea Shearim neighborhood.

Even Jerusalemites who were born and raised here are unaware of this fascinating world, especially what goes on in the Mea Shearim neighborhood on Thursdays in preparation for Shabbat. They say that at this time, the neighborhood becomes bustling and crowded, filled with women and yeshiva students busy preparing for Shabbat. In hidden stairwells, cholent restaurants open for one night, where people sit on boxes and taste the best cholent in the country. Those who know where to go will also find amazing bakeries, kugel like you've never tasted before, and herring in a variety of shapes and flavors.

During the tour, we will take a peek into the bustling life of:

• The Hasidic courts.
• Schools.
• The shtiebel.
• The local market.
• We will listen to the sounds of Hasidic melodies.
• And we will taste local delicacies (for a fee).

This is a rare opportunity to glimpse into this fascinating world, uncover local secrets, and have a fascinating conversation with a neighbor we've never spoken to before.

During the tour, there will be time for independent tastings.

You can choose from a variety of Jewish dishes: challah, cholent, kugel, herring, etc.
You are welcome to taste and buy whatever you like.

It is very important to dress modestly!
