I have been taking photographs of the people I encounter each day, in preparation for our departure at the end of June. This is Nidal. She is Lev's teacher in the gan at the YMCA and lives in Beit Safafa, an Arab neighborhood in South Jerusalem. She spent some time living in Saudi Arabia, and Jordan I think, but says she prefers it here. She is a wonderful teacher, and very patient when I try to practice Arabic. She is also going to bring me homemade za'atar to take back to Montreal.
