Yesterday, we visited Natzeret (Nazareth) for the 2nd time. The purpose of the visit was the same as last time: to take some papers to the Ministry of Health office there, where they will decide if David can receive a rehabilitation package and, if so, what will be included.
After delivering the documents, we went to a large mall not far away and found a place to eat. I couldn't help notice the interesting juxtapositions. The mall is located between the Arab part of Natzeret and the Jewish Natzeret Elite ("Upper Nazareth"). So, here in the town where the founder of Christianity grew up, in a mall between the mostly Muslim but partly Christian part and the Jewish part, we were sitting in a very modern mall eating guacamole and labneh (a white, liquid cheese that tastes somewhat like sour cream) in a tortilla wrap! Just another typical experience here in this modern but ancient land!
