David, I think that people always take risks by doing something that is considered unpopular. Certainly, we are both taking risks but if it means being examples of how two people from two totally different backgrounds and perhaps opinions can get along, then I am all for it!

It has taken a long time and many years of working in the same office to get to this juncture and actually posting a joint blog. Living in America, I have always been around people of other faiths, particularly of the Jewish faith. One thing we usually always agreed upon was not to talk politics because we would surely disagree.

It’s my hope that the combination of your chutzpah and my prayers will lead to a substantive dialogue that is a mix of culture, politics, personal ruminations and fun.
