A wall bursting with color in Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv, dozens of hand-glazed ceramic hamsas in every shade from turquoise to deep crimson, hung alongside pomegranate charms and ceramic fish, spilling out from a local craft shop front. Photographed by street photographer Ido Biran in 2024, this image captures the layered folk-art tradition of hamsa hands, protective symbols found across Middle Eastern and Jewish culture, displayed in the kind of overflowing, sun-bleached shopfront that gives Neve Tzedek its charm. A vivid, pattern-rich piece for lovers of Israeli craft, Judaica, or the textured street life of old Tel Aviv.
