An ultra-orthodox pub was opened in Jerusalem

Jerusalem's nightlife is spreading to the ultra-Orthodox sector: A new bar called “Kretshme” (a public house in Yiddish), located within the allies of the haredi Geula neighborhood, offers visitors meat and the traditional cholent dish alongside beer, wine and other high-quality alcoholic beverages.

The bar, which is open every evening till midnight, has become a big hit among yeshiva students and married couples living in the areas.

The place has undergone an extensive renovation in the past few months. Upon receiving the required permits from the Jerusalem Municipality and Health Ministry, it reopened to become Jerusalem's first haredi bar. (Shiri Zsuzsa, MTI)
