This past week we were based out of Jerusalem. It is one of the most unique cities in the world, and I really love the feeling I get when walking around it. Highlights were the Western Wall, the very moving holocaust museum, and the old city itself. We also hooked up with a Zionist tour that Dania’s cousin planned for some Americans. We were bussed around the “real” Israel - in that we visited a Bedouin community, a huge Intel plant, and heard lectures by experts working to bridge the Jewish-Arab within Israel’s own communities. Off to Eilat (Israel’s beach resort) this week and Petra in Jordan.
I randomly met my friend Sara in a Jerusalem market who I randomly met while living in Ireland five years ago at Rosh Hashanah services. We had actually lost touch until we randomly met at Univ of Michigan b-school info session two years ago (that had four concurrent sessions going, and we just happened to be in the same one). Dania bumped into two different people that she knew at two different places. It’s a small world after all…
