Sukkot in Jerusalem - Market Friday street photography. (part i)
Hello here. Friday is celebrating and I prepared the series for the Market Friday leaded by wonderful Denise @dswigle.
Sukkot is still here and I willed to arrive in Jerusalem before the first evening of this Holiday that is continuing week long. I will start my story with these white Sukkah - a small hut, constructed for this week of the days of celebrating when people sit in these white temporary huts. More information about possible to find on WIKI.
I saw them everywhere on my way to the Machane Yehuda market, located in the center of the city. This market - half covered and half air open - always was my favorite place to visit and to be shocked by the amount of very mixed crowd, coming to spend time, to buy food, goodies, or to eat something. It also always was ver popular place by photographers - locals and tourists. Right now the photography boom fell hard and during this walk, I saw only one photographer, and she appeared before my eyes two or three times.
This guy played covers on his "drums" system in the entry to the open-air area market and seems like covered his face because the few people filmed him playing to their IG or FB stories.
And the opposite of this playing guy side looked like an anthill after the summer's rain.
And the entrance to the covered part of the market.
Here are some of the Sukkot rituals objects - Lulav and Etrog.
Actually, I know nothing about the rituals of every religion, so better you can read about in one of the nice sources, explains in detail the needs of these rituals - Sukkot Customs and Rituals.
This day was also crowded by the local police - one of them look like playing on the tablet of her job's partner. I was curious how effectively she can do her job with these long artificial nails.
Some people deeply need money.
Some people parks their transport just in the middle of everything.
Some are still young...
And some are already hopeless to sell something today.
Some feel cold during a 33C hot day.
I hope that these watermelons have nothing to do with the Pharmacy.
Kurdish KADEH - Kurdish Jewish Cheese Bread, filled with cheese. Hot and tasty like HELL. I ate two.
Busy bus station opposite the other entrance to the market.
Thank you for walking with me. I will continue this walk with two more posts about this day and about the feeling of the Middle East market madness that has a very specific smell and taste, deafening sound connecting all the different screaming, talking, offering voices.

Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
Very colorful, and delicious photos. I like the Kurdish kadeh. That looks amazing. 🧀
thank you for taking a look and for the kind words. i ate two even i know how not healthy they are :-)
Oh, they are PLENTY healthy! Just think how good it felt to eat them! LOL
oh i don't know, never tried, seems like some fruit just to put on the table as an accessory but possible i wrong
I took your advice and went to Wiki to read the entire story on the small huts and I found it very interesting that they said that if you are too uncomfortable you don't have to sleep in it. Usually, religion does not worry about Comfort only that you toe the line. So I found this interesting in a little bit humorous that consideration is built into the holiday. Of course, that's probably just for now. Years ago you probably needed to bleed or something. Please disregard my thoughts.
I'm surprised that you have so many tourists there but as a popular market during the holiday makes sense. I could not believe that there was only one photographer that you saw. It's these kinds of events that usually draw them closer. I have to wonder why the guy playing covers on his drones did not want to be seen as I thought that everybody loved to be posted on Facebook or Instagram. I laugh at the masks and wonder why they have them because everybody's is Dan around their chin oh, so take it off and relax! Even the covered Market is incredibly dense with people. Thank you so much for posting the links to the ritual objects and for anybody reading this it's worth the extra time it takes to read them. Hey Victor! She may not be able to do her job but at least your nails are pretty! In fact oh, they might be gel put on the nails to make them extra hard, and you can function properly with those oh, but if they're artificial nails, that should just not be allowed. That's just ludicrous.
I absolutely love your people photos, just walking around observing people and things. It's always the Hopeless that catch my eye or the Clueless. No thank you for the Watermelons too close to the drugs oh, but the Kurdish cheese bread oh, oh my goodness! I think I would probably eat too also or at least I would want to. Thank you so much for taking us and I look forward to another walk and your thoughts as you Meander through the Middle East Market Madness. It does have a specific smell and taste, the voices carrying through the market. Thank you again. This was an amazing Market.
I love the concept of #MarketFriday and how our cultures differ and then again, how much they are alike. Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages. Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I had hoped that posting here will familiarize you with the world around you just a little bit more. Viewing it from a more personal level as opposed to the newsworthy level gives me a better understanding of the people and a view that is often not seen on television. Sometimes, it seems like I learn more on some social media about a certain incident than what the news tells me.
I appreciate the amazing support given to #MarketFriday! Thank you! Your participation adds a piece to your world, and I have to say, people are interested in seeing it. This entire challenge has opened up the world to me and so many others. Thank you again for being a part of all this! I am so happy to see you here! I hope you have a fabulous day! Hive on!!
Take pictures! Be creative!
As always, please remember! #MarketFriday loves you!

So agree with you, Denise. But there are days when there are no concessions - The Kippurim day is about to stay away from any kind of food and water. Of course, today kids and people in extreme health situations are excluded.
The guy who is playing on his "drums" is from the religious community, so most of them are using "clean" phones without any Social media installed, and even protected from any kind of application that is not about religion.
Thank you for the careful look on the photographs and very kind words !
I don't mind concessions, but, some go overboard to be more PC. Kippurim is fasting, so, honestly, unless there is a medical reason, I don't think it is too difficult. Challenging, yes.
That makes sense with the guy playing the drums, thank you.
It is always a pleasure to peek in on your world!
thank you Denise :-)
