In the Middle East, Israeli Jews and Christian and Muslim Arabs are at loggerheads. Even when there’s peace between Israel and its neighbors, the peace is cold. Israeli tourists who visit Petra fear for their lives; Egyptians who decide to head to Tel Aviv to sample the local nightlife can expect a discreet visit from the mukhabarat (secret police). But in New York, things are different. Ever hear the story about the Muslim who bought a Kosher deli? Mohamed Salem, 49-years-old, grew up in Egypt and worked as an archaeologist. He emigrated to America and traded the life of an archaeologist for a cooking gig at Adelman’s Kosher Deli in the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Midwood, Booklyn.
