Both groups told us they want to celebrate this unique New Year with their friends and family. And that is the reason we will not be flying from midday Dec. 31 until midday Jan. 1.

But as my summer in Jerusalem and the Middle East continues, I have become increasingly attuned to drinking, washing, watering, swimming, cleaning and flushing--anything that involves the precious molecule, H2O. Water availability and attitudes towards this natural resource are subtle yet omnipresent symbols of the different worlds which coexist here, as well as a source of conflict between them...
