Time Warp: Causing Distress
Today at school, during my free period, I scammed off the free wireless and uploaded a dozen pictures from Jerusalem into draft-version posts of upcoming blog entries. There are all part of what feels like a time warp since they were taken in December, almost two months ago now, but they are all somewhat interesting and so one by one I will share them with you.
Here is a *large* sign posted on the side of a home in the religious neighborhood of Nachlaot, one of many such signs throughout observant communities in Jerusalem. When I took this picture I was indeed wearing pants, causing profuse distress to the Orthodox people who live there I am sure. This photo was taken at night because if I were to have taken it during the day it is possible I could have been at least yelled at, or maybe pelted with rocks like the time I wore a kippah in the shuk on my first trip to Israel three years ago. I'm a rebel, I tell you. So distressing.
