Day 4 - Erev Shavuot

So after visiting the good old building of Eretz HaTzvi - a nice trip down memory lane and the lanes of Katamonim - first Shoko Besakit as an Israeli and a good old packet of Doritos and a Sushi Rechavia lunch, I thought what better way to remember the day of Erev Shavuot, than to visit the Shuk, Machane Yehuda.

{I gave up on the notion of trying to amass all 7 of the 7 species - although I did go for a walk around the streets of Katamonim after visiting the Yeshiva because along Rashbag there are a whole lot of fruit trees in bloom - and saw all but 2 of them.}

Day 4 - Tuesday 18 May 2010

To me, the Shuk epitomises the Chag of Shavuot - fresh fruits and produce all around, hundreds, thousands of people running around for last minute purchases, and screaming merchants trying to get you to buy their food..Ah, Israel.

Chag Sameach!
