Where security guards are the only jobs in surplus. Where deserts bloom and pioneer stories are sentimentalized. Where a thorny, sweet cactus is the symbol of the ideal Israeli. Where immigrating to Israel is called \u201cascending\u201d and emigrating from Israel is called \u201cdescending.\u201d Where my grandparents were not born, but where they were saved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Where the year passes with the season of olives, of almonds, of dates. Where the transgressive pig or shrimp dish speaks defiantly from a Jerusalem menu. Where, despite substantial exception, secularism is the rule. Where wine is religiously sweet. Where \u201cArabic homes\u201d is a positive real estate term with no sense of irony. Where there is endless material for dark humor. Where there are countless words for \u201cto bother,\u201d but no single one yet for \u201cto pleasure.\u201d Where laughter is the currency; jokes the religion. Where political parties multiply more quickly than do people. Where to become religious is described as \u201creturning to an answer\u201d and becoming secular \u201creturning to a question.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Where six citizens have won Nobel prizes in 50 years.

Where Moses never was allowed to walk, but whose streets we litter. Where the language in which Abraham spoke to Isaac before he was to sacrifice him has been resuscitated to include the words for \u201csweatshirt\u201d and \u201cschadenfreude\u201d and \u201cchemical warfare\u201d and \u201cpress conference.\u201d Where the muezzin chants, and the church bells sound and the shofars cry freely at the Wall.
