Tours, led by tour guide Nurit Basel, in the footsteps of the Hamsa that started out as a charm for protection against the evil eye, both in Moslem culture and in Jewish culture, and became a sort of iconic artifact that represents folk culture and folklore.
The tours will start from the Hamsa Hamsa Hamsa exhibition, which features precisely 555 hamsot, and will continue on to the Mahaneh Yehuda shuk and the Nachlaot neighborhood. The participants in the tour will visit the Cursed House and the Blessed House, learn how to cure various ailments, how to banish the evil eye, and how to protect the home from spirits. All this and more will be part of a tour which is both serious and will raise a smile.
