Jerusalem Customs in Seasons and Ordinary Days
A cultural look at common customs in the city, without generalizing to every resident or every era.
Jerusalem customs vary between religious seasons and daily life: presence at the mosque, visiting family, the market, occasions. The article limits itself to illustrative examples and avoids saying that «all Jerusalemites» do the same thing.
Season and ordinary day
In seasons movement toward the Haram and the markets increases. On ordinary days the gate, the market, and the school remain a steady rhythm. Culture here is lived before it is material for display.
