Buying Your Own Food
A makolet is an Israeli grocery store, which usually carries a wide variety of food and household items. Prices on
regulated food items, including milk and bread, are normally the same in all stores, but other products tend to vary
in price. Small supermarkets are located in the Maiersdorf (Reznik) student housing complex opposite Building13
and in the Student Village. There is a minimarket on the lower level of the Forum. Larger supermarkets near Mount
Scopus are Mister Zol in the French Hill Shopping Center and Super-Sol Sheli in the Ramat Eshkol Shopping
Center. There are also supermarkets in the basement level of Hamashbir department store in the center of town, in
all the shopping malls in the Talpiot Industrial Area and in the Jerusalem Mall. Credit cards are accepted at all
supermarkets and in many other food stores. Deliveries can often be arranged for a fee.
Generally, the best fresh fruit and vegetables can be purchased in Mahane Yehuda, the outdoor market (shuk).
Good buys on household articles and staples such as rice, flour, spices and nuts are also to be found. Make sure
you thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables.
Most meat produced in or imported into Israel is kosher, but not necessarily kashered (soaked and salted). Generally,
frozen chicken, turkey and chopped meat is kashered (muchshar in Hebrew). Ask the butcher if you are in doubt.
