Shopping for Judaica in Jerusalem

For Judaica, start in the Old City's Jewish Quarter; for market browsing, expect bargaining. Mea Shearim offers another focus on Judaica, with modest dress appropriate there.

Shopping for Judaica in Jerusalem

Why go

Jerusalem's shopping areas reward different approaches. The Old City markets invite browsing and bargaining, while the Jewish Quarter is a more focused place to look for Judaica. Mea Shearim is another option for those seeking Judaica, but a visit there calls for modest clothing. That distinction helps you choose an area before you start looking through stalls and shops.

Useful to know

  • Allow room to negotiate when shopping in the Old City markets.
  • Start in the Jewish Quarter if Judaica is the main reason for your shopping trip.
  • Dress modestly if you plan to shop in Mea Shearim.
