Kelsey, a student employee at the DU Bookstore, returned to the University of Denver this quarter after a semester abroad in Israel. Kelsey studied in Haifa, and was able to tour most of the country during her stay, with the exception of the southern part of Israel, which was constantly being shelled (no sense of adventure, in my opinion). Kelsey noticed that each region of Israel has its own distinctive identity and character. A former Bookstore employee who moved to Israel a few years ago seconded this opinion when he decided to move to a suburb of Tel Aviv instead of Jerusalem, which he felt was too Orthodox for him (this from someone who once wanted to be a Rabbi). In any case, I tend to believe that deep down everyone (with the exception of certain parts of New Jersey) is the same. And before you cranky New Jersey people get all bent out of shape, that is an old Woody Allen joke, so go complain to him.
