Also, many come from blended families. For a lot of them, this is the only Jewish experience they have. For Ben Hamou, it was important to be among other Jews on his first visit to the United States. Staying with a family for four days in San Francisco and then with a family in Los Gatos helped him adjust. But Barkai, on his third visit to America, still has not adjusted to people here, who, he said, just keep getting weirder.

The way they behave is pretty strange. I notice this every time I'm here. All rights reserved. This material may not be reproduced in any form without permission.
