I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

It would certainly be an interesting thing to blog about either way.
I, as an American Jew, would love to go to Jordan and see Petra...
However the chance that I'd travel thru an Arab county is between slim and none...
Carl,
They have a habit of not letting outwardly Orthodox Jews in for fear for their safety.
Plus, you would have to be as crazy as Olmert to go to an Arab country, even a 'friendly' one like Jordan.

Spit.
And I haven't even touched the subject of visiting an enemy country.
Just say no.
Just for the record for all of you, I have actually been to an Arab country. I was in Egypt in 1980 during the euphoria after Camp David (my grandmother a"h - may she rest in peace - took me). The only place I was as uncomfortable was Vienna.
