Shalom Shuk

I was a victim of discrimination when I went there. I’m white, protestant and low income. I was buying for myself, my daughter and granddaughter. Or so my plan was. I was busted by the volunteer working there who said I could only buy 2 items. TWO! I was and still am furious! How is this not discrimination? They should be giving clothing for free to the immigrants and not making a buck off their back. Oh dare they!

Note their Summer Hours are Sunday-​Thursday, 11−4pm. They are closed on Fridays & Saturdays in Summer.
I hauled ass on foot in 90 degree weather to get there on a Friday only to be greeted by a closed door with the summer hours sign. was disappointing! if you’re not sure they’ll be open, call first!

This is the thrift shop I’ve been waiting for! Actually, Shalom Shuk, which is run by the Ohavi Zedek synagogue, has been around for 40+ years, but lots of people still don’t know about it. The shop is in (what appears to be) a converted barn tucked away behind the synagogue. It’s chock-​full of the usual thrift shop finds: dresses, blouses, shoes, books, and household odds and ends.
The greatest part is the ridiculously low cost! Nothing is more than ten dollars, and most things are in the 1 – 2 dollar range. Also, there is TONS of brand-​name stuff. Come to think of it, Shalom Shuk is either very selective in the donations it accepts or has a wealthy, tasteful clientele that donates everything, because there isn’t much here that isn’t high quality and/​or brand name stuff. There are Bass boat shoes, Banana Republic blazers, J Crew tops… and everything’s dirt cheap.
Check it! Definitely worth the trip up the hill.
