RE: Sukkot in Jerusalem - Market Friday street photography. (part i)

I took your advice and went to Wiki to read the entire story on the small huts and I found it very interesting that they said that if you are too uncomfortable you don't have to sleep in it. Usually, religion does not worry about Comfort only that you toe the line. So I found this interesting in a little bit humorous that consideration is built into the holiday. Of course, that's probably just for now. Years ago you probably needed to bleed or something. Please disregard my thoughts.

I'm surprised that you have so many tourists there but as a popular market during the holiday makes sense. I could not believe that there was only one photographer that you saw. It's these kinds of events that usually draw them closer. I have to wonder why the guy playing covers on his drones did not want to be seen as I thought that everybody loved to be posted on Facebook or Instagram. I laugh at the masks and wonder why they have them because everybody's is Dan around their chin oh, so take it off and relax! Even the covered Market is incredibly dense with people. Thank you so much for posting the links to the ritual objects and for anybody reading this it's worth the extra time it takes to read them. Hey Victor! She may not be able to do her job but at least your nails are pretty! In fact oh, they might be gel put on the nails to make them extra hard, and you can function properly with those oh, but if they're artificial nails, that should just not be allowed. That's just ludicrous.

I absolutely love your people photos, just walking around observing people and things. It's always the Hopeless that catch my eye or the Clueless. No thank you for the Watermelons too close to the drugs oh, but the Kurdish cheese bread oh, oh my goodness! I think I would probably eat too also or at least I would want to. Thank you so much for taking us and I look forward to another walk and your thoughts as you Meander through the Middle East Market Madness. It does have a specific smell and taste, the voices carrying through the market. Thank you again. This was an amazing Market.

I love the concept of #MarketFriday and how our cultures differ and then again, how much they are alike. Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages. Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I had hoped that posting here will familiarize you with the world around you just a little bit more. Viewing it from a more personal level as opposed to the newsworthy level gives me a better understanding of the people and a view that is often not seen on television. Sometimes, it seems like I learn more on some social media about a certain incident than what the news tells me.

I appreciate the amazing support given to #MarketFriday! Thank you! Your participation adds a piece to your world, and I have to say, people are interested in seeing it. This entire challenge has opened up the world to me and so many others. Thank you again for being a part of all this! I am so happy to see you here! I hope you have a fabulous day! Hive on!!

Rules of the Road

1. Go to the market, or anywhere that you pay money for a service.
   Take pictures! Be creative!
2. Tell us a little bit about the market or the event. What brought you there? What did you buy? How much did it cost?
3. Post the picture(s) Of course, you should tell a little bit about the ones you post
4. Use the MarketFriday Community Platform to post #hive-196308 (this is not required, but appreciated)
5. Drop the link into the MarketFriday comment section so I can find it
6. Following me and reblogging the post so more see it would be appreciated !! Not a rule, just appreciated, more vision for more views on your posts!
7. You must put #MarketFriday by @dswigle somewhere on your post. If you don't and someone reads it, there is nothing to tie #MarketFriday to that post.
8. Please only one post each week. Believe it not, I run out of voting power if you put in many more than that.

As always, please remember! #MarketFriday loves you!
