The colorful and unique market, which is being held for the 25th year, will have about 40 stalls selling high-quality daled minim, including esrogim imported from Italy and Morocco.
“A person who sees the ‘Esrog Exchange’ in the Daled Minim Market in Yerushalayim will see trading just as action-packed as on Wall Street in New York,” city officials said in a statement.
Over 700,000 sets of Daled Minim are sold in markets across Eretz Yisroel every year.

“Yerushalayim and its residents from all backgrounds and communities have a unique, rich and special tradition for the holidays of the month of Tishrei. The capital city is characterized by a unique historical, cultural, national and religious richness and depth that is not found anywhere else in the world, or in the country. The Yerushalayim Daled Minim Market is one of a kind, and is an authentic traditional, national and cultural celebration,” added the statement. JNS
