and the saga continues.. how much to avoid? tonight, an iftar dinner takes place in Jaffa which many of my friends will be going to. I can't go in case I crash into someone who I should never ever again be in the same vicinity as. It's more his stomping grounds then mine, so on this one I have to immediately concede and miss out. I've really wanted to join in since I heard about it last year, although last year when we were together he wanted to go on his own lest people not approach him with the same openness because he would have been two instead of one. He had a theory that he would always have a better experience on his own since individuals attract more friendliness than couples. I'm not a subscriber. I've met amazing, warm, friendly people when I've travelled on my own, in two's or with a motley crew. So last year I missed out too. It's as if the whole experience was a rat poison that took affect during the relationship and had toxic side effects remaining long after. I guess I just really wanted to go and was hurt that I couldn't be included.
Friday brings an Iftar put on by one of the local peace out organizations. I don't think it's a registered amuta in israel, but the forum it uses seems to have reached a spectrum. Friday is also September 11th and Shabbat. It's an interesting choice for a peace event/ Iftar Dinner. I imagine that many who celebrate shabbat will be home with their families and not in Beit Jalla at the Dinner. I'd really like to go out of fascination with the conversation that I might find there and out of interest in the people that I might meet. I'd really like to but don't think I should go. Beit Jalla is not Jaffa, and I'm just as entitled to join in, but why take chances? I hate living like a hobbit.
