The original buildings of this nineteenth century neighborhood, interspersed with bustling courtyards are the backdrop for a fascinating cultural foray. As you browse the produce market, Judaica and religious bookstores, you’ll notice the variety of men’s dress indicating their Hassidic or non-Hassidic allegiance, the women’s modest attire and many, many children! On a Thursday-night visit you can see the quarters bakery at its busiest, churning out Sabbath challahs. Residents require women visitors to wear skirts and sleeves below the elbows, and do not like to be photographed.
