Diversity

Coming from Melbourne, where the Jewish community is relatively homogenous - most (but not all of course) are of Eastern European origin and have relatively similar traditions - Israel is showing me the diversity of the Jewish people.

Ethiopians, Moroccans, Indians, Sudenese, it seems like there are Israelis from everywhere ... as well as the usual mix of jews of European background. Last night we had dinner with an Australian-Israeli and his Israeli wife, who is half Afghani and half Iranian by background.
