This was built in the 1920’s and constitutes one of the liveliest parts of the city with shops, restaurants, street vendors, and musicians coming together to create a rich and varied atmosphere. The district of Mahane Yehuda, which means “Field of Judah”, was built in 1929 to house Jewish immigrant workers. It is famous for its vibrant and very colourful market, selling mainly food stuffs.

Dit was in die 1920’s gebou en bevat een van die lewendigste gedeeltes van die stad met winkels, eethuise, straat verkopers en musikante wat saam ‘n ryk en menigvuldige atmosfeer skep. Die distrik van Mahane Yehuda wat beteken “Veld van Judah”, was in 1929 gebou om Joodse immigrante werkers te huisves. Dit is bekend vir sy lewendige en kleurvolle mark waar hoofsaaklike kossoorte verkoop word
