Sitting opposite the Israeli rabbi in this small Chinese apartment, I did my best to explain, but it's never easy. I have a hard time explaining irrational things, in general. Sometimes I hope "I grew up in New York" will explain it, though it shouldn't. And when that fails I hope "my parents put me in JCC camp as a child" will do it, but that's not it either."You'd better talk to my wife," he told me.
And that was it. I traveled an hour and a half for a three-minute conversation. The kind of conversation that makes you want to calmly and coolly ride the elevator to the top of the highest nearby building and jump off without even bothering to take in the view, no less.
They say the world is shrinking, but it's nearly impossible to eat kosher here. I for one am perfectly happy with that. What about you?
