RUIN ROVNER

At the display table where Betty
Moaz's wares are laid out, a
youngster is examining a curious
looking long bamboo stick.
"It's a rainstick," explains Bet-
ty. She picks it up, holds it in one
hand, shakes it firmly and soon it
sounds just like the pouring rain.
Also on Betty's table are deli-
cate whistles and maracas. Hers
are among hundreds of crafts —
all of them hand made — on dis-
play at Tel Aviv's open-air crafts
fair.
The fair, held Tuesdays and
Fridays at the pedestrian mall
known as Nachalat Benyamin, is
a good way to sample the creativ-
ity of Israeli crafts and to enjoy the
lively ambiance of this outdoor
bazaar.
It is, in effect, a carnival of cre-
ativity, with virtually hundreds of
crafts on display. And the festive
atmosphere, with impromptu en-
tertainment, outdoor cafes and
crowds of people strolling in the
Mediterranean sunshine adds to
the pleasure.
No wonder the fair is jammed
with people. There are young Is-
raeli soldiers, teen-agers here to
socialize, parents pushing strollers
and tourists speaking many lan-
guages.
"I really like the atmosphere
here," says Betty Moaz, whose
flutes and rainsticks are unique
at the fair. A Texas native who has
lived in Israel for 17 years, she is
participating in the fair for the
first time this year and enjoying
it fully.
"You get to meet lots of people,"
she says as another family comes
over and looks at the flutes. "And
they're not in a hurry. They're
here to look at things and enjoy
the atmosphere."
It is indeed the most tourist-
friendly atmosphere of Tel Aviv's
outdoor markets and the only one
devoted exclusively to crafts. The
artisans tend to be friendly and
patient, and prices are clearly
marked. In contrast, hard bar-
gaining is expected at the Jaffa
Flea Market — which has every-
thing for sale from clothing to pots
and pans — and at the raucous
Carmel Market which is just a few
blocks away.
Those two markets are also
lively and colorful, but only sea-
soned Hebrew-speaking bargain-
ers can do any serious shopping.
Here, the mood is much calmer,
browsing is encouraged and bar-
gaining skills aren't needed.
There's a seemingly endless va-
riety of wares to choose from, with
tables spread all along the main
artery of the mall and more dis-
