About halfway through our trek at the Jerusalem Zoo, I realized that the most interesting animals were not the ones behind bars, but the ones walking around.
It was about that point where I formed the opinion that Israel may be one of the most human-being diverse places on the planet.
In a span of seconds, you'd see ultra-Orthodox families of 20-something people, secular Israelis, Arab women with their kids in strollers, Jews of Ethiopian origin speaking Amharic, Russians, Americans, just to name a few.
And, in some sort of strange cosmic way, everyone is just “getting along.”
The zoo itself is fantastic, punctuated by a “Noah’s Ark” at its highest point. Definitely recommend it.
