Two Neighborhoods

We went out to East Jerusalem with Ali and to West Jerusalem with Ohfir, and walked through a very Orthodox Area (with signs asking all visitors for modesty). But I was most struck by a museum on the Seam that used to divide Israel and Jordan before 1967 - its work reminded me that in this time of no communication gaps, anywhere, our physical and electronic presences will continue to divide, with the latter growing in a limited room of importance. Not that this makes sense, but I think I'm understanding more about the motivations and ideologies in this place, and why what happens here has such huge ripple effects.
