Summary

The millennia-old port of Jaffa, now part of Tel Aviv, was once known as the "Bridge of Palestine," one of the truly cosmopolitan cities of the Mediterranean. There Muslims, Jews, and Cristians lives, worked, and celebrated together - and it was commonplace for the Arabs of Jaffa to attend a wedding at the house of the Jewish Chelouche family or for Jews and Arabs both to gather at the Jewish spice shop Tiv and the Arab Khamis Abulafia's twenty-four-hour bakery. -Backcover
