The Jewish new year is upon us next week, which means you may well find yourself in need of a present. Actually, as a tourist, you’re probably in need of some stuff to bring back home with you. Well, you’re in luck, as the Achoti fair trade store is having a birthday celebration this Wed from 17:00. Apart from some wine and great prices on amazing handmade gifts made by local Jewish and Arab women there will also be a card making workshop for kids, music and all kinds of other surprises. Expect a fun and relaxed event giving you an opportunity to stock up on some really nice stuff from textiles to things like olive oil and other condiments and preserves, posh soaps and things, toys and decorative items, etc.. So you get some really unique presents and you also know it all goes towards empowering local women.
