“You aren’t really in a new culture if you aren’t uncomfortable.” I said this to my husband as we walked towards my nephew’s apartment in Jerusalem.

I agree. This is such an eye-opener. I have only experienced cultures where life is very similar to here in the UK but this is just a whole new world. I can see it's very important to know how to behave correctly in these situations.

Gut Shabbes and Shavua Tov,

Yup, cultural differences can be eye-opening. The Sabbath in Jerusalem: Stores and businesses closed. No phones, work, cars, computers, cooking, etc. for 25 hours every week. Might seem boring to some, but I think It's great! Relaxing as hell.

In life and in business, it's important to understand cultures and views.
