    Hope everyone’s chag preparations are coming along well!

    Israeli posters, can you help me – where can I buy arba minim in Jerusalem, in the shuk area? And how much can I expect to spend on a full set – kosher, but basic?

    Thank you, and chag sameach to everyone in the CR!

    Sorry I can’t help you Gofish, but I don’t live in Yerushalayim so I don’t know.

    You can buy in the shuk area as well as Geula and Mea Shearim. I spent 111 shekels including a set of aravot for each day (6 shekels per set) but that was from a family on my settlement so you might have to pay a little more.

    Hatzlacha! If you’re in Yerushalayim, you should be able to find people on the streets offering a chance to do Lulav and Esrog. I think I remember doing that in the past.

    Hey lilmod, thanks for asking! Hope you’re having a good chag.

    I ended up using someone else’s so far, so didn’t need to buy one. My neighborhood is flooded with tourists, so going anywhere is a major shlep. Especially areas where they sell minim – an overload to the senses for an introvert like me.

    Gofish, I hope that they gave them to you as a gift on condition that you return them. Otherwise you were not yotze on the first day.
