Jerusalem Book Stores

Jerusalem is a city of books — from ancient sacred texts to contemporary Hebrew and English literature. The city's bookstores range from sprawling multi-floor shops carrying bestsellers in every language to intimate used-book stores tucked away in the Old City and Nachlaot. You'll find specialty Judaica and Torah booksellers, rare-book dealers, academic publishers, and cozy independent shops perfect for browsing. Many stores also host readings, signings, and literary events throughout the year.
