In the outdoor bazaars, people grit their teeth to brave the easterly winds. Others seek refuge within their abodes and resolve to wait until a better day to take care of business. I am always interested in preconceived notions of the Middle East . Today might have been a vision some one might contrive. To my knowledge, this is the first dust storm J-Town has encountered in about a year.
Most people are at work now in their various venture capital organizations or high-tech companies .
Others remain busy hustling about the city competing for the spoils of the year-round tourist industry . Still others remain in study, sucking the marrow out of ancient Jewish text . J-Town has immersed herself in a myriad of activities, each with a multifaceted interest. With this perception in mind, I could not portray a just picture of this city, nor Israel entirely, with brevity. Understanding these factors can only come through exposure to multiple perspectives, and mutual integrity towards acknowledging them.
