ALSAMA TIPS:

​

When shopping in Jerusalem, support the local Palestinian business.

The Palestinians face many hardships. 

These restrictions prevent their ability to grow. Therefore any money you spend amongst the Palestinians can be a source of sadaqah (charity).

This is a great way to benefit their community and help them support their large families, without them feeling shy or embarrassed.
