Finally a Jewish shop in the Old City of Jerusalem. Marvellous.

[@BarefootDani]

I'm an israeli, worked as a policewomen in the old city and lived there for about five years, and I've never heard about half of these shops. Great work Oren, this video is great!

[@mazyarkanani6708]

Jeursalem is the heart of the world. Your happy and positive message has made my day !

[@the2ndcoming135]

Never knew this info about Jerusalem brides😎

[@sylviajerjerian]

Your work is exceptional. Thank you again, Oren, for showing us all these artisans' shops in old Jerusalem. ❤

[@beegee2234]

I live in Jerusalem and didn't know most of the shops existed. It's a fantastic video. Kol hakavod

[@NarnianLady]

same here. really would be amazing to visit some of these.

[@khalidalali186]

Cool nickname and display picture dude

[@mikeg0472]

I received mine from The Razzouk Family this past May. I’m honored to have it for the rest of my life to represent my pilgrimage to Jerusalem and The Holy Land.

[@dgroover5044]

My friend, this is a great video.

[@adamodeo9320]

this is very moving - though I am not into tattoos I am so happy to see Coptic Christians in Yerushalim! and the fabric guy is a must-visit when I get to the Holy City and I must buy a talit from Yoseph - all of these people bring the bible to life and it is a joy to see so many nationalities together, very good work Oren✡✡✡✡

[@JaxBespoked]

I've known about Bilal's shop for over a decade but that was the Best interview (or article) I've ever seen. I can't wait to visit.

[@the2ndcoming135]

He’s pretty cool huh?😁

[@FoodFreedomUSA]

I loved this video!!! Amazing- I lived in Israel for two years and didn’t know any of this existed. I can’t wait to return and visit them with my Israeli husband. I’m definitely buying your app. Missing my time in Jerusalem at seminary. Next year in Yerushalayim! 🙏🏻🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

[@salemabarker4096]

Hi Oren, I came upon your channel 2 days ago. I believe it was topic of what Jews think about Jesus. As a Christian I wanted to hear what they had to say. I have been watching a lot of your videos. Great content. I’m watching from 🇯🇲 Jamaica.

[@MB-vt5cw]

This may be my favorite video you’ve done. I love getting to see the daily businesses of people in Jerusalem.

[@the2ndcoming135]

Exactly. Glad I got a tattoo that actually matters😅

[@HEART2HEART-3]

Absolutely brilliant, thank you. I'll never get there but I found this just amazing. To actually hear the shop owners, really felt as close to hands on as one could be without being there. Shalom from the UK ✨💛🕊️

[@idaselinahobbs9031]

Why are you saying you will never get there? 🤔 Blessings from Poland 🤗❤️❤️🇵🇱🇵🇱❤️❤️

[@margaretwilliams6224]

Oren, You are terrific! Precise, applicable information. Fascinating historical backgrounds to very interesting places. My daughter, Lisa, and I met you in Israel. You are very personable and you took my daughter's suggestion to make a video about good shops to visit. Excellent!

[@amjz77]

The fabric shop and the weaver are definitely places I want to go in my next trip to Jerusalem, G-d willing! Shalom!

[@vickietaintor7686]

This is an awesome video. I loved the fabric shop, especially. All the owners were very informative and fun to listen to. Thank you so much !

[@andreawilliams1509]

My mom may she rest in peace loved to sew and loved fabric. She would have loved the weaver and any shop where fabric is involved.

[@aamirshahkhetran8371]

Your videos are very informative and useful. Thank you.

[@the2ndcoming135]

Right. My wife is gonna be so happy about her wedding dress👀

[@godsbuckets]

Oren! This is gold! What a useful and informative, interesting look at these places! I've learned so much about Israel from you. Thanks a million!

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

My pleasure!

[@greyskyghost9164]

You‘ve produced many nice videos, however, this is one of the best.

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

I agree

[@YbYBwRbY]

As usual, excellent, and thank you. And here I thought I knew Jerusalem! Always something more to learn.

[@deborahquinn483]

Now I have a new favorite video on You Tube! Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I will try to see if I can order something online from them. Thank you for your time and talent in doing this video and please thank these wonderful shop owners for telling us about their shops. I always learn something when I view your videos.

[@studnougat]

Thank you for this video (and the channel). These are exactly the kind of places that I would like to check out during my travels. Local artisans who care about what they do. A trip to Israel is definitely on the agenda and I will definitely use your channel as inspiration!

[@erinb1800]

This is one of the best travel videos I've seen, not only is it nice to be able to see local people continuing traditions like this, but also to know where to go and support them. I think for tourists it can be difficult to navigate as there's so much information. I will be visiting these on my upcoming trip! Thank you!!!

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

Thanks 🙏. I also think that this is one of my best videos

[@habeshachannel1757]

I want to visit Jerusalem before I die. This one of my biggest goal.

[@ranvaknin9669]

היי אורן. ממשיך ללמוד עוד ועוד מהערוץ שלך. תמשיך להעלות תכנים מדהימים!

[@zalansz9450]

Good job Oren. I will definitely try to look for these shops when I can make my way to Israel.

[@marilialevacov2939]

What a great idea to make a video about, Oren. Kol HaKavod!

[@loveisallyouneed5877]

THANK YOU Brother Oren - You always present Your Beautiful Locations that i feel like i am coming Home! How are You doing this? GOD bless You and Yours 💖👑💖🤗

[@Jeep0102]

Watching this video 3 times, going to Israel in December, definitely will visit this 7 shops.

[@lisal5718]

Thank you so much. I am here for a year and now it’s the last two months and I am still looking for something unique to bring home with me. I will definitely check out some of the shops.

[@beatrizhurst715]

Excellent tour and very exclusive items for sale. Thanks so much

[@seanclark2085]

Excellent presentation , Jerusalem only ever gets more interesting ....

[@mariegroves2370]

Thank you so much for taking me on tour with you. Your video came across my feed today 7/11/2022, Shalom from Eden,North Carolina,usa

[@yochevedbrachasimon4979]

What moving stories! thank you for showing us the true diversity in the old city. I particularly loved the photoshop that doc. history.

[@charleshamilton9274]

This is one of the best videos you have ever posted. As a non religious traveler, my interest in Israel would be meeting people, visiting museums, eating and shopping. Oh, and probably more eating. 😎 More like this. Please. Special shout out to the fabric store and its owner. The colors! How I wish I could have felt the textures of those beautiful bolts! 👍

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

Thanks 🙏. I also think that it is one of my best videos

[@jwillisbarrie]

Thank you for adding actual captions for the Deaf - made it easier to understand your videos.

[@rachelsamuel3328]

Thank you, all these artisans are incredible, thank you.

[@Michaella169]

ישר כוח אורן! ברכה והצלחה

[@maxalcindor7130]

I would love ❤️ to go to Jerusalem

[@MrsD1980]

What a gift you give to honor these talented people and all that came before them. I am very far from Israel,and yet was so touched by this video. In our Amazon and Walmart world, our "made in China" factory produced surroundings, its too easy to forget there are still generations of skilled hands that deserve the spotlight. Im especially in awe of the fabric. Had to pause vid and do screen shots just so I could expand it and really look close at the incredible detail. Wow

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

Thanks!

[@ronaldmiller2740]

SHALOM OREN,,, TODAH TODAH!!!!!! GREAT VIDEO!! I HAVE BEEN IN THESE SHOP AT TIMES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDES MY WIFE AND SON MAX LIKE TO LOOK AROUND AND SPEND MY MONEY ,,, BECAUSE OF YOUR VIDEO WE ARE GOING TO VISIT THESE SHOPS AGAIN ,,, THERE ALL GREAT!!!!!! TODAH!!!

[@Maugrim76]

🇸🇪👋🇮🇱 Wow, this video was amazing. I just love to hear the experts talk about their craft. This made me want to book a ticket, just to walk in Oren's footsteps.

[@NikCan66]

Excellent video yet again

[@jupite1888]

Interesting Video and great to old traditional historical stores. Nice of you to show the names and help the shops

[@wrldvw1836]

I always enjoy your vids. This one, however, is at the very very very top of the list

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

I know!

[@alfredopampanga9356]

That tattooist has kindness written all over him A great advertisement for Christianity

[@dr.pierre-henryocallaghan7206]

We buy many tiles from the Armenian ceramic Shop to put on our kitchen wall. Its looking really good! The man of the shop is really nice.

[@RO-pd2nn]

Very nice. An honest guide to honest merchants.😊

[@kristyvancleve9084]

Thank you for this video. I am one of those "older people" Wassim mentioned, who would never get a tattoo. I've been blessed to visit him 3x since 2017. My first tattoo utilized one of the 500yo stamps. I am amazed every time I look at his artwork on my ankles. I highly recommend a visit to Razzouk Tattoo, if only to see the old tools and stamps that are on display.

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

He is such a great guy!

[@the2ndcoming135]

“That’s why I don’t be breaking no laws.”😂

[@alenahawke475]

I can't wait to travel to Israel!❤

[@angelvpineda8148]

You rock Achi love your videos.

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

I so enjoyed seeing the fabrics!...and the gorgeous tiles! Thank you so very much for sharing this with us all! What a blessing to be able to even see a video of these things.

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shlomobenbubu6978]

great job,,thank you,,shalom

[@tomislavnagy8715]

This was VERY interesting! Toda Oren!

[@144Donn]

I LOVE how Bilal @7:18 is so familiar with his customers' needs and customs. If only, if only we all had such an appreciation for each other's customs and ways...This is one of your best videos..and this is saying A LOT because you make great videos!!

[@walkingwithAbraham]

I’m so happy your videos are back.

[@bbdaria3023]

loved the fabric shop and the guy was so friendly

[@Seek_Him]

This is very interesting, Thank you for sharing

[@sandrapotgieter7488]

Thank you Oren !! As usual always excellent....from South Africa..

[@meowsthree]

Such an interesting video. I really liked hearing the shopkeepers’ stories.

[@leannesampson3199]

WOW! Excellent video. Thank you. All these beautiful handcrafted things and the people that make them and sell them. Absolute treasures. In stark contrast to the westernised Malls and supermarkets where one can only buy machine made mass produced rubbish! Beautiful city. Beautiful people. Beautiful artifacts. Thank you ♡

[@robertrhodessr3664]

Thank you I enjoy all your videos! I find them very informative, with all you have an understanding of what people in other countries want in terms of keepsakes and meaning behind all the different items. Idk if I will get to travel to Jerusalem b4 the rapture but if I do, I will come see you. Shalom and may the Good Lord bless and keep you!

[@WaterWaver]

So interesting, thank you

[@rosi9664]

Thank you. Always enjoy these virtual trips

[@raymondfernandes4275]

Thank you so much Oren, most informative....👍👌

[@robpieper7474]

Another fascinating video, Oren. Well done!

[@olgam601]

I LOVE your videos.

[@simonbarnett9773]

Once again, super interesting content. Wish I had seen this before my last visit to Jerusalem! The story of the Street signs in the Old City was a particular revelation.

[@gerardolsthoorn9836]

Beautiful video, I really enjoyed these amazing people and the beautiful shops. Thank you!

[@truthseekers864]

Historical note about the orthodox dress: The "new" charedim who came to Jerusalem in the 19th century wear mostly black and white. The ones who wear gold and white stripes are known as "Yerushalmim" (Jerusalemites) or "shalmers" in Yiddish slang. They lived in Jerusalem throughout the Middle ages, some even from before the Byzantine era. When the Arabs conquered, they started attacking Jews every so often, so they changed their dress to appear more like Arabs from a distance. The unique dress became a source of pride and tradition because only the Jerusalem Jews wore it, as the Hebron, Safed, Gazan... communities had their own outfit. Therefore, when eventually the Arabs changed their own dress the Jews stuck with it. (By then, the Turks were in control, and they protected Jews from Arabs for the sake of stability and the jizya tax.) Under the Ottoman Empire, Damascus was filled with Jewish textile merchants. When these merchants came to pilgrimage to Jerusalem, they traded with the locals. Hence the Syrian source. Also to be clear, only wearing the combination of linen and wool is prohibited in the Torah. Not, each one individually. Hope this was informational.

[@Knutwolf]

Oooo, I loved this. Hope you make another venture to shops

[@khalidalali186]

Truly fascinating. An amazing multitude of people to say the least.

[@cindyfaust7344]

Abu Khalif Bilal is a very special man… when I lived in Jerusalem as a fashion designer he was my resource for the best fabrics. A gentleman and fabric expert.

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

He is!

[@BrownAndDaughters]

Wow, very nice. I'm moving to Modi'in in July from NYC. I'm downloading the app and will use it quite often.

[@cia7746]

Those items were beautiful!

[@budokarate6212]

I would love for you to be my guide when i visit Israel. Hopefully within the next couple of years. 🙏🏼. Great videos !

[@groselio6224]

This video is excellent. I've visited Israel 3 times in the past but have never had such excellent guidance. I'll make sure to use your app and/or indications next time I visit Israel. Thank you and SHALOM.

[@anncairns1099]

A beautiful history- thank you for these amazing gifts - pottery 🌹😊👍🇨🇦

[@edwinsarmiento3305]

This is very informative.Thank you sir for sharing this wonderful video.

[@Zoe-Swiss]

Excellent, one of the best videos... Unique!! Really enjoyed discovering these shops and going into them with you. And also getting so much historical information! Really interesting!! Can't wait to discover your App!

[@donnadejesu4445]

Great video!! I book marked it.

[@shailjagoswami7735]

Beautiful shops Absolutely loved those shops ❤

[@olivebranch2059]

At 14:42 He showed the violet colored paint changed into blue after firing. It's like the tekhelet dye used to make tzittzit - it would start as violet and turn blue after being dried in the sunlight.

[@HR-pb4bf]

wonderful video. thanks for sharing these interesting shops with us!

[@SG-gn1vt]

Beautiful ❤️. Thank you so much, Oren. I loved it

[@dananachum4356]

I know the old city of Jerusalem very well and loved learning details about these special shops. My father-in-law was in charge of putting in all the plumbing in The Old City so I knew many of the shopkeepers and often shared coffee and stories with them on their small stools in their shops.

[@xiaomika8656]

Thanks You very much :)

[@bzipoli]

all those are amazing!

[@rodjohnon4950]

I will be in Jerusalem soon. I will be getting a tattoo there. This is awesome

[@mirib5007]

This is my fav video you’ve made! I love it so much!

[@findingshalom]

This was such a wonderful video. So interesting. And it felt like I was there with you visiting these shops. Thank you so much for putting this together.

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rayross997]

Thanks Oren. I hope to make it there one day and these videos are great for making a plan. It's Israel first, Wisconsin a distant second.
