Tel Aviv's Nahalat Binyamin arts and crafts fair is the largest of its kind in Israel.
Every Tuesday and Friday, rain or shine, handpicked artists and craftspeople of all stripes set up booths in one of Tel Aviv's oldest neighborhoods, Nahalat Binyamin. Here in the textile district of the Mediterranean city is where everyone is welcome to browse Israel's largest selection of handmade items.
One of the rules of the market is that the artists must man their own kiosks. That gives them a great opportunity to form personal relationships with customers, who come from far and wide and number as many as 10,000 per week.
Some of the 200 artists sew, paint or sculpt their wares right on the spot, made to order.
