Mahaneh Yehudah Market

This guide to Mahaneh Yehuda Market in Jerusalem centers on July 30, 1997, when two bombs went off in the crowded central alley within seconds of each other, and on how the market reopened for business the very next morning. It follows the shutters over closed stalls, now painted with portraits of Einstein, Bob Marley and local rabbis by a neighborhood artist, and traces the market back to farmers who first filled this lot with stalls in the 1880s. Listen for both the daytime produce trade and the bars that take over after dark.
