What an article, and so easily passed over. This is my favorite post on this site to date. Of course, with the Palestinian economy the way it is and the conflict neverending, who knows if there will ever be mass appreciation among the Palestinian society for western cheese?

Food can bring peace, however. There is a kibbutz (for those unfamiliar, a farming collective) in the Negev desert, Yahel, which grows pomelos and engages in all kinds of trade and socializing with the surrounding kibbuzim and the Jordanian farms and settlements which are parallel across the desert. There is coexistance and there is, in the hearts of most, a want for something better, something happier, something safer. I wish... Uch. Well, who knows. Maybe in my lifetime.

Of course, challah. Especially at Rosh Hashana, when we make it round with rasins, but challah is amazing year-round.
