A small smile, among the awfulness
Jul. 25th, 2014 10:43 pmI could go on all day about Israel and Palestine, and I have some crappy cell pictures from the (very well attended, quite amazing actually) vigil today, and there are a million links to outrage you and exhaust you, but I think I'd rather post about something nice.
So here is an article about Caplansky's Deli, which is a super-popular Jewish deli, and how it's signed on to be a sponsor for the Toronto Palestine Film Festival in an attempt to promote dialogue and peace. Never eaten there myself but now I pretty much have to, because that is just cool. (Adorably, a bunch of people at the vigil got takeout from there and brought it by; apparently it actually is as good as people say. If nothing else, the pickles smell like I imagine heaven would.)
By coincidence, Zane Caplansky is a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend, so I'm currently talking to him on The Face about a) what the vegetarian options there are like, and b) hey, you know, thanks for doing this, you're awesome, and it's kind of a nice way to cap off a day that was mostly frustrating and sad.
