THE JEWISH NEWS

plays along several side streets,
too.
On display are crafts of all sorts.
Stone jars and ceramic vases and
aluminum clocks, wind chimes,
decorative glass boxes, candelabra,
dried flower arrangements. In ad-
dition, there are hand-painted
greeting cards, Hebrew calendars
on recycled paper, earrings, neck-
laces, ankle rings, pins, pendants,
Stars of David and mezzuzot.
Then, too, there is a full array
of objects for children: hand-held
puppets that squawk, dolls hold-
ing Israeli flags, kinetic toys of all
sorts.
"Everything moves, you see?"
says Nachum Rubin, as he sets
into motion several toys that move
ingeniously as he manipulates
strings or winds them up. A crowd
of youngsters gathered around his
table watches mesmerized.
Mr. Rubin and the other crafts-
people here today cannot simply
set up shop at Nachalat
Benyamin. Instead, their work
has been carefully screened. Each
one of them goes through a de-
tailed selection process before get-
ting a license to display work.
First, they must bring their
work to a selection committee,
where it is evaluated for the qual-
ity of craftsmanship and even the
way it will be displayed at the fair.
"This fair is very well orga-
nized," says Karen Mason. Her art
work on display includes paint-
ings, mirrors with painted frames,
hand-painted greeting cards and
more.
A native of Melbourne, Aus-
tralia, who made aliyah two years
ago, she's worked in several open-
air markets in Australia and had
high praise for this one.
"They maintain a very high
standard of artistry," says Karen,
who comes from a family of artists
and studied art at the University
of Melbourne. "They make sure
the products are definitely hand-
made and that the person who
made them is the one who will be
selling them. And the require-
ments are very strictly enforced."
As far as she knows, Karen is
the only Australian native who is
displaying at the fair, although
she's met a few craftspeople who
are from Ireland, Scotland and
other countries as well as many
Israelis.
Nearby, Michal Sarana dis-
plays her sterling silver jewelry.
A native Israeli, she lives on a kib-
butz 40 miles south of Tel Aviv but
cheerfully travels twice a week to
the crafts fair.
She is patient and helpful as
people pick up the earrings, try
them on, take them off and try an-
other pair. Shoppers are pleas-
antly surprised at the reasonable
prices (without the upkeep of a
store, artisans can keep their
prices modest). For instance, a
sterling silver Star of David pen-
dant with agate or onyx is 55
shekels — about $18.
While most of the crafts on dis-
