Machane Yehuda Special: Fresh from California? |
By Liore Milgrom-ElcottNEW YORK (March 8, 2011) — From whole-wheat challah to pure pomegranate juice, I navigate the narrow streets of Jerusalem until my backpack is full and my wallet empty. So when I was visiting my grandmother in Jerusalem and she asked me to pick up golden raisins, I put on my walking shoes and made my way to Machane Yehuda, the Jerusalem open-air market that is filled with spices and herbs, fresh produce and dried goods, meat and fish.

- Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch
