But also mixed with really beautiful colors and smells and people. The particular shuk I visited this morning, the Rosh Ha-Ayin Shuk (market), is only open on Friday morning until the afternoon, and because I will typically be teaching on Friday morning, today was probably one of the few chances I will have to go. Rosh Ha-Ayin has a very large Yemenite population so in addition to produce and clothing and household items, this shuk also offers a variety of Yementie delicious things like Malawach, Jachnun, and others that are probably even more difficult to pronounce. One of the teachers at my school said that some of her spices she will ONLY buy here.
Mostly just wanted to post some pictures to give you all a taste(ha) of the shuk:
 |
| Tried not to interrupt his morning beer toooo much |
 |
| Olive man suggested he pack up his olives and come to American to sell there |
 |
| I thought it was a swell idea |
 |
| Danielle, queen of Rosh Ha-Ayin |
 |
| Lost flower |
 |
| The man from this stand asked to take a selfie with me and the proceeded to repeatedly stab his phone with a knife to demonstrate the quality of the phone cases he was selling |
 |
| Gummy bears are universal, but I don't think I've seen pizza gummies in America |
 |
| Malawach Man #1 (because it's always best to fry the things that are already unhealthy) |
 |
| Malawach Man #2 |
 |
| Just some light reading !שבת שלום |
