it is expensive when you are a tourist... you need to bargain with them sometimes.
The Old City's Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem is good for souvenirs.
The markets in Tel Aviv are the coolest though: The Carmel Market, The Nahalat Binyamin Pedestrian Mall (only Tuesday and Friday!) and Levinsky Market are the best.

Right now they are because the dollar is extremely weak on the foreign exchanges.
