What would you find in a Jewish marketplace?
Many cities with large Jewish populations have a street devoted mainly to stores that carry products that religious Jews need, such as holy objects, Kosher food, and items worn when praying (such as prayer shawls). But many non-Jews and also many Jews who are not very religious will shop in Jewish stores if they want to buy Jewish-themed books, Jewish gifts, or if they want to purchase kosher food. In a Jewish marketplace, one would find Jewish food for sale-- if the marketplace is in a predominantly European Jewish neighborhood, the ethnic foods would be different from those eaten in a predominantly Latin-American or African Jewish neighborhood. One would also find religious objects for the home, such as mezuzot (plural of Mezuzah, the object placed on the doorposts of Jewish homes to show respect for God and to remember Him when going into the home and when leaving it), and various kinds of kippot (the little skullcaps that Jewish men, and even a few Jewish women wear in the synagogue). There might be Jewish art for sale, and also Jewish-themed jewelry (some people wear a Jewish star, or a symbol of good luck and long life called the Chai). Whether you are Jewish or not, if you have Jewish friends, and want to purchase a gift for them, you might go to a Jewish marketplace.
