Welcoming Shabbat with Lecha Dodi by Eliyahu Chait at the Jerusalem Shuk

There's nothing like preparing for Shabbat by visiting the shuk in Jerusalem.  The sounds, sights, and smells of the famed open market are the perfect background for selecting the freshest and finest foods to grace the Shabbat table.

Eliyahu Chait, Son of the famous legendary composer R’ Baruch Chait is bringing a new sound to Jewish music! This music video lets you enjoy a beautiful Erev Shabbat shoping experience at the Mahane Yehuda shuk in Jerusalem. 

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!

Comedy Spotlight: Benji Lovitt on the Shuk, Israel's Open-Air Markets

Benji Lovitt, a native Texan who moved to Israel about eight years ago, has brought his comedy impressions of Jewish life in Israel and America to audiences of all ages in both countries.

Last year he addressed a group of students attending the MASA Israel Leadership summit. MASA Israel connects Jewish young adults (ages 18-30) to gap year, study abroad, post-college, and volunteer programs. We previously published his funny recollections of learning Hebrew at a Jewish American summer camp, and the mismatch of the Hebrew taught in camp and the everyday Hebrew spoken in Israel.

In today's video clip, Benji focuses on the Shuk, the open-air fruit, vegetable, and everything market (both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv have big ones), and goes through an imaginary interview to find qualified applicants to sell products at the shuk.

Enjoy!
