Orthodox Jewish Cultural Tour

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

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.

We will explore the significance of the curls of the Orthodox Jews and the reasons behind their characteristic black attire. The tour will cover key locations in Jerusalem frequented by this Jewish religious community.

Initially, we'll proceed to the Mahane Yehuda Market to discover the foods most consumed by Orthodox Jews. We will also visit establishments that cater to their religious needs as we explore the Zichron Moshe neighbourhood.

Next, we'll head to the Mea She'arim district, home to the Ultraorthodox Jews. Here, we'll learn about their social and religious customs, beliefs, and rites, followed by a visit to the Ge'ula neighbourhood for further insights into their lifestyle.

Ultimately, after a 2.5-hour tour, the activity will conclude in the area where we started.
