South of Jabotinsky Road, the main traffic artery, is the Haredi area of the city, almost exclusively inhabited by Haredi Jews. Walking in these areas is a unique Israeli experience, but be respectful of the local customs. Wear long-sleeved clothing and full pants; a head cover is also recommended.

Where to eat

Bnei Brak is one of the cheapest places in Israel to buy food (both fast food and supermarket goods), but in general the quality is unremarkable. The most interesting food seems to be available on Thursday nights in preparation for Shabbat. Cholent is the classic Ashkenazi Jewish dish for Shabbat - a stew that's left cooking all night to provide hot food for Shabbat day when cooking is forbidden.
