Orthodox Jewish Cultural Tour

On this tour of Orthodox Jewish culture, you'll learn about the customs and traditions of the local community. We'll also visit the neighbourhoods of Jerusalem where the members of this religion live.

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll begin this tour of Orthodox Jewish culture around Jerusalem in Davidka Square, at the bus stop just in front of the Abraham Jerusalem Hostel.

What do the curls of the Orthodox Jews represent? Why do they always wear a characteristic black attire? We'll learn the answers to these questions while we tour the main points of interest in Jerusalem that are frequented by members of this important Jewish religious community.

To begin, we'll make our way towards the Mahane Yehuda Market to learn about which foods are most eaten by Orthodox Jews. This community also frequents various establishments and shops that specialise in their beliefs. We'll discover such shops as we visit the Zichron Moshe neighbourhood.

Continuing on our tour, we'll visit the district of Mea She'arim, a neighbourhood in north Jerusalem where the Ultraorthodox Jews live. After uncovering their main social and religious cultural customs, beliefs and rites, we'll head to the Ge'ula neighbourhood to further understand the way of life of this religious community.

Finally, after a 2.5-hour tour, the activity will conclude in the vicinity of where we started.
