On the tour we conducted in the Talfiot market in Haifa, we were surprised by the level of cleanliness in it, the cleanliness of the streets, sidewalks and even the public toilets that looked clean and polished. The market is bustling with life, the traders are happy and so are the customers.
In addition to the stalls, there are restaurants and cafes in the market, all in a style reminiscent of abroad. In one sentence, it can be said that the Talpiot market now looks like it hasn't in 30 years, and experts claim that this is only the beginning. As of today, only 30% of the market has been restored. While In 18 months, he will undergo another face lift that will change the familiar appearance completely.
"You can say anything about her, but she is the only one who lifted the glove and restored the market"
In an interview with Talpiot market committee chairman Nissim Salman, He says that the market today is much better than it was before. "Since Mayor Einat Kalish Rotem took office, we see the changes," says Salman. "New light poles have been installed throughout the market, the sidewalks have been maintained and marked, the entire market is covered with cameras, hundreds of parking spaces have been designated for market visitors. A huge field that was used for scrap and garbage has become the "Barcelona" field, a beautiful and well-kept basketball court with lighting. In the afternoons, there are many children who come here to play, and in the evening the field is full of young people," he says.
"To bring back the glow that has been lost over the years"
"A rest area has been set up, those who are tired or waiting for the bus can sit and rest. The shelter in the market is well maintained with the possibility of receiving people in emergency situations. The shelter is currently used by the Carmel Area Rescue Union. They received the building for activity and they invested in renovating the place and cultivating it, all from donations raised by the Union." .
"Everything is according to plan"
"And this is just the beginning," Salman continues. "The market develops according to the pace of the mayor and according to her plan she plans to continue developing Herzl, the pioneer and the market and return to them the glow they had that was lost over the years. You can say anything about her, but she is the only one who picked up the glove and restored the market. We are talking about the market building which is is crumbling, and I ask all those council members who are always looking for what is wrong and what is not good, where were the mayors for 30 years? And where were you? Why didn't you take care of the market, the destroyed sidewalks, the lighting, the stalls and all the bad things that happened?"
"You have to say a good word"
"Today, when the municipality takes care of all the deficiencies and problems and decided to return the market to what it was, and it flourishes and prospers, and they began to renovate it with all their might and work 24/7, one should say a good word, one should not look only for what is not good," says Salman.
"Behavior and swearing like in the city council, you don't even see it in the market"
Regarding the incident in the city council, Salman says: "It is impossible to come and hear that the mayor is being cursed in such a disrespectful way. Is this the behavior of people who call themselves cultured people? In the market, you don't see or hear such behavior and curses."
"All the wars in the city council are because the council members don't get positions. In the previous term they were used as a rubber stamp because they got positions. I turn and say to those council members who constantly oppose the mayor and curse: take care of the city and not the jobs. When the previous mayor decided to invest 4 A million shekels in the lower city and caused Carmel, Hadar and the market to suffer, all the council members who today only complain, were amused. No one shouted and no one said a word.
"They check who can't finish the month?"
"Among us, who knows them? Let them come to the market and check who knows them or who recognizes them. Nobody knows them. When did they visit the market? They talk about what they don't know. The whole city was neglected, the sidewalks were destroyed. They go to the neighborhoods and check Which of the people doesn't have the possibility to continue the month? We make sure that poor people have cartons full of groceries every week, we do and don't talk. We have a list of 800 people who receive a weekly carton."
"moving forward"
"In conclusion", says Salman, "I can say that in 18 months, all the stalls will be the same, the market will look glamorous and be one of the most beautiful in the country. As I mentioned, as of today 30% of the market's plan has been implemented and this is only the beginning. We are moving on to the next stages."
I was in shock, the atmosphere is relaxed. But it bothered me that the market prices are really not cheap. There is no difference between prices in supermarkets. My mother would always come to the market in the 70's because it was cheap, she would drive and bring it. Really cheap goods today I saw purple onions for 40 cents and some just like in the supermarket. Sorry they don't work with credit! And what is irritating is a discount that is given without VAT. I was looking for the Jewish sellers. The market of Arabs. Excuse me, why? Once upon a time there were Arabs and Jews
.
I walked around Talpiot market today towards noon.
With the exception of 3-4 new businesses, the market is neglected just as it was. The smell of a sewage system near the building on Zvovim Street (they probably come because of the smell).
All the comments above, in my opinion, are a complete fake of people who came in just to give a fake comment to support Mr. Salman who is probably operating them like a glove puppet by him.. maybe out of fear. Maybe out of desperation. In any case, I came back with an unequivocal opinion that Talpiot market must be taken out and this area restored. It devalues all citrus.
Kudos to the mayor.

This is wrong. This place is dedicated only to the words of Ares. Why is something positive?
There is no doubt and all the best and there is but it is still not Hadar. It should return to being the splendor of Haifa. Look at all the access roads. All the streets around the market are full of filth. The entire descent from the market to the flea market is neglected. Ancient with well-preserved and beautiful houses, go to the Latin quarter in Hadar, there are no parking spaces and a mall in the center of Hadar, instead of the fund house with underground parking, as was once planned, it would raise Hadar to the sky, and in addition, it is not possible because the property tax in Hadar is more expensive than the Grand Canyon hahaha

A market comes and stinks... the stairs at the entrance are very dangerous, most of the cases are the third age... and there is a skid scanner... a large part of the sellers treat the customers very badly... it really sucks to go in there!!!
When will you realize that the market is the center of Hadar's life, therefore money must be poured without recognition in order for the market to flourish, to renovate the building and open everything
To arrange neon lights in the nearby streets such as Yehuda Halevi to have a pleasant approach and to bring in street artists on Saturdays
There are two types of people who come to the Talpiot market, one comes to buy fruits and vegetables and the other comes to hang out and eat. These are different mentalities.
The Haifa market is the history of childhood.
And I really appreciate what is done in the market warms the heart
Kiryat Ata should take an example.
And why is the market something different from life? And that means breaks down the nerves and gives well-being to the head.
Because of all the vegetables and cows and the greens themselves and their calls.
And each with his own model.
What is more beautiful than this

Wow, this cliché is simply queen champion number one in the world, we won such a mayor, we just won, thank you, thank you, thank you.. all the roads in Haifa are paved and more and more.
Haim, the roads only now in the last week I see the road repairs but Since she was elected, the road repairs are only now being implemented, but this is only the beginning. Chaimka, why don't you praise her?
Do yourself a favor by praising her from the side it looks like it's fake. Was not and was not created.
Dear Mr. Salman, the residents of Haifa and the Talpiot market, thank you for your many years of activity for the Talpiot market and the great help to those in need every week and the cartons that touch full of all good. Your public activity will not be priceless. May your strength be with you and may you be blessed from the Almighty.
The market is literally stuck like a bone in the throat of the Hadar neighborhood. It was always like that, he never had shining days. Only once during the austerity period, there was no choice, and there were no alternatives.
Talfiot Market, like the central station in Tel Aviv, simply damaged the neighborhood around them. They never connected to the surrounding streets. The market was always a nuisance that did not contribute to any street connected to it and they became the most neglected in Hadar.
Cultivating the market is a wild boar's nose. The clearing of the market would have made it possible to turn the Talpiot building into a school, and build around 400 new apartments around it, which would have changed the face of the entire neighborhood. Below the apartments - shops and supermarkets, and the renovation of the streets and connecting the place with an axis
Gvirol stone for exit and entrance.
Leaving the market is a critical, historical mistake. At this low point of Hadar, the right process was to establish a new modern market just like in Barcelona which the mayor sometimes mentions. In Barcelona they were not afraid to establish convenient new markets that would be an attraction.
Talfiot market is simply not suitable in the urban location to be an attraction. There is no resemblance to Mahane Yehuda market, which is located on a main street of Jerusalem and is accessible by light rail. The Talfiot market is located in an inaccessible place, cramped and inside buildings that were supposed to be shops and restaurants and not market stalls. The place was not originally intended to be a market but became one. And here is the problem. Mahane Yehuda is a market that was established as an urban market.
my offer:
To purchase the Egged Bat Galim station that has been empty for over a decade and adapt it as a new modern market that will serve many neighborhoods around it. There is a lot of space around for goods trucks, there are about 40 stores and passages inside that will easily fit about 100 large businesses and another 50-100 stands that will be set up in the station's plazas.
To turn Talpiot into a school and a new neighborhood with 400 apartments in new buildings with a new street and a parking lot that connect to Ibn Gvirol. Give a budget for the renovation of all the buildings on the streets bordering the complex. Also build a new square in the area of the open parking lot in Talfiot.
The municipality receives millions every month for property tax for the property of the former central station of Egged. Why would you change the status quo?
It is interesting that none of the members of the city council have yet found this income in the budget book.
Interesting ideas
About a month ago we were in one of the restaurants. An unforgettable experience. Flies, dishes that do not justify their price.
As always, there is no parking in the market...
You see neglect in every corner.
wow great ♥️??
A surprising and huge change
Kudos to the mayor
And to the honorable Mr. Salman, you are right in every word, bless you ♥️
Mr. Salman finally broke the norm of the herd in Haifa and expressed respect and appreciation for the mayor of the city. I'm tired of reading about her. Now all that remains is for you to give up the instruction to fine good-hearted people who feed cats, and come to Zion Goel.
There is nothing to swallow. She sold a secular city to ultra-Orthodox hands. She did not work in any field from cleaning to wild boars. Destroyed budgets for the city from unnecessary wars with government offices. And Deirdre the work relations in the municipality to the lowest. Appointed a fictitious body full of her associates to manage 2030 and poured millions into it to pay fictitious consultants. And managed to fight with her entire coalition that tried to fire and divide.
These are not Bale's words, these are the facts that happened in this term.
Haifa is going backwards all the time and the only two things that go up here are the property tax and the pollution.
Verdina from Argentina. Lady
You are honorable because he saw that you did not walk around except for shopping in the market because the streets were full of potholes. The city is not maintained as they used to care for the horticulturalists for a long time now. I don't know where you live, I live in Kiryat Haim, the city is very neglected. A human hand barely touched it. The coast of Kiryat Haim since the construction of the port has damaged our shores. I chose her and I regret and admit that I failed.

Beauty !!!
May you continue and invest in what is needed and exists. And that you invest in what is neglected and requires rehabilitation, that you invest and see to the implementation of the rescue of buildings at risk of collapse, buildings that were in the construction evacuation plan in Kiryat Eliezer because they are old, that you flourish rehabilitation programs for all those neighborhoods, that you restore the culture and leisure to the city that have faded and disappeared, that you restore the Bat Galim Promenade, that you restore cleanliness in the city, And take care of the plants and gardens on the roads and throughout the neighborhoods because everything is withered and dry, that's what I expect and that's what property tax is paid for and also that you lower the skyrocketing property tax prices, that you return the port of Haifa to flourishing tourism as it was in the past, and that you stop with delusional plans like building a large airport that will only harm the residents when planes fly overhead Our heads and all this so that they will say "Cliche did it", and that the games of politics and the struggles of roles and powers will come out and then it will be evaluated accordingly.
Really, she bought herself a screamer from the market who comes to the city council screaming non-stop, gets kicked out of the hall because of his screams, and complains about yelling.
As someone once told me: the neighbor who complains about the noise is usually the one who makes the most noise.
Well, then the municipality with a budget of 2 billion that no one understands what it is going for, built services in the market.
We will all stand and applaud the renovation when all around there are holes, cracks and flies.
According to her representative in the city council, there is a suspicion that this gentleman received a lot of space in the market without it being clear how the spaces were divided and according to what... so there you have it
The reason he is such a fan.
Pirgon is not a rude Milav for 30 years, no head of state has ever looked at Hadar, all the best to her aspirant to Einat Klish
It's true Samar, the Talpiot market in Haifa got a beautiful configuration thanks to the decision of the mayor of Haifa Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem who decided to invest a lot of resources and money in the Talpiot market in Haifa. A pleasant evening. Kudos to the mayor of Haifa Dr. Kalish, to Nir Shuver and Moshe and also to Nachshon Tzuk.
Kudos to the mayor and the market committee. A pleasure to visit and shop at the market.
