Jerusalem textile merchant Bilal Abu Khalaf stands in his shop in the Old City’s Christian Quarter, surrounded by textiles that showcase his family’s long tradition. A third-generation merchant, Khalaf has inherited a legacy of textile trading cultivated over decades. His shop, located in the winding alleys of the market, offers a collection of fabrics, including handwoven silks and embroidered linens threaded with gold imported from Syria and Morocco. Khalaf serves a wide range of customers, including Jewish ultra-Orthodox communities, Christian clergy, and Muslim clients, each drawn to his high-quality textiles for their cultural and religious needs. His reputation extends beyond the local market, with representatives of the Vatican also seeking him out for special fabrics. As one of the few remaining traditional merchants in the area, Khalaf’s work is a vital link to Jerusalem's past, preserving the city’s blend of cultural influences through his dedication to the art of textile making.
