Ben Yehuda

Ben Yehuda Street is a busy shopping area in Jerusalem. Lots of Judaica shops, cafes, and jewelry, jewelry, jewelry. On Saturday nights, after Shabbat, it's packed!

We've been to Ben Yehuda several times during this trip. I'm most excited about the lyre menorah I purchased!

Right now I'm sitting outside "King David Treasures" while Holly and her mom shop inside. Displayed outside are kippot, including a Chicago Bears kippah, Sponge Bob kippah, and even a Diego (from Dora the Explorer) kippah.

The street is alive with music from street performers and young adults enjoying the start to a new week. Shavuah Tov!
