    Davidka Square is a historic public square located in the heart of Jerusalem, Israel. It is named after the Davidka, a homemade mortar used by Jewish forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The square is surrounded by notable landmarks, including the Mahane Yehuda Market, the Jaffa Road pedestrian mall, and the Jerusalem light rail station. Today, the square serves as a bustling transportation hub and a popular gathering place for locals and tourists alike.

    Our Meet the Ultra-Orthodox Jews Tour is designed to give you a glimpse into the rich cultural and religious identity of the Ultra-Orthodox Jews, better known as Haredim or “God fearers,” living in Jerusalem. We will visit a traditional neighborhood, which isn’t typically visited by tourists, giving you the opportunity to remove the veil of a culture that most people have only observed from the outside.

    The tour is guided by a member of the local Ultra Orthodox Community, who will take you for a walk around the streets of a nearby Ultra-Orthodox neighborhood. Along the way, your guide will point out many significant religious symbols, customs and sites. You will also be shown places such as a book store, music store, restaurant, typical bakery, clothes shop, synagogue, Yeshiva and more to get an insight into. Note that some of these places won’t be possible to enter as it’s forbidden by the local community, so you’ll get a glimpse from the outside with explanations from you guide.
