The Best Things to Do in Jerusalem in January

Jerusalem events in January reflect that winter settles in at this time of year.  There are concerts, museum exhibits, performances - but almost all have moved indoors.

A reminder, though, that this is when registration starts for the Jerusalem Marathon.

Shuk Machane Yehuda

January is great time to pay a visit to Machane Yehuda, Jerusalem's fruit-and-vegetable market.  Hopefully, there has been rain by now, and new fruits are in season. In addition to the glorious produce that you'll find here year-around, the vendors start to stock up on weird and wonderful fruit that you're unlikely to find at any other time.

It's kind of thrilling to see what you'll discover...

Want to make it an exciting, fun group adventure?  Why not a shuk dash?
