Delight in the magic of a neighborhood frozen in the splendor of Jewish traditions from 150 years ago. Meah Shearim is a testament to the Jewish shtetl (neighborhood) of long-ago Poland. The densely populated neighborhood is fused with the scents and perfumes of restaurants, bakeries, juice stands, and delicatessens that sell herring and pickled vegetables. They are intertwined with the tiny, narrow streets that come alive with the hustle and bustle of community gatherings, shopping, and hearing the prayers from one of the corner synagogues, each one with a tale to tell.

During the Jewish holidays of Sukkot and Hanukah, the neighborhood is alight with decorations and ornaments lining its streets and shop windows. This is a visit like no other – a step back in time with a people preserved in history and grace.
