In Honor of Shabbos Kodesh: A Journey into the World of the Haredim in Bnei Brak

Want to get a glimpse into the fascinating world of the ultra-Orthodox? Do you miss the aromas and flavors of Grandma’s kitchen? Looking for an experience that combines knowledge, content, tastes, and aromas? Are the State of Israel and Israeli society topics that interest you?

Join a tour exploring the ultra-Orthodox world in Bnei Brak.

Bnei Brak is a kind of secret—a misunderstood bubble in the Gush Dan metropolitan area—and everything about it seems so different, distinct, and fascinating: the language, clothing, music, daily routine, and life itself.

If you feel like getting to know ultra-Orthodox society—truly, through ultra-Orthodox guides—you are invited to an engaging tour of Bnei Brak!

During the tour, you will hear from a personal perspective about the lifestyle, worldviews, values, beliefs, and fears; about fashion, culture, music, consumer and leisure habits; and you will also rediscover the wonders of Jewish cuisine.

Come for a different kind of experience: a meeting of knowledge and flavors in the colorful surroundings of Bnei Brak.
