Recordist's notes
Friday morning at Mahane Yehuda Market. Busiest time of the week. Locals as well as tourists are spending time at restaurants and buying fresh products. Peddlers are enthusiastic to sell their goods before the market is closed for Shabbat, shouting over special prices. Chabad followers are offering the men crowd to put Tefillin. Loud music is coming out the stoles and cafes. A panhandler is begging people for some money. A chick is basking singing songs.
