Jerusalem: Out-bridged


A Palestinian Family
Part III

Talaal and I became pals when I let him play my hand of Pit cards and showed him how to shuffle a bridge. Anwar and Ibrahim couldn't be out-bridged by their younger brother and I ended up with a lot of warped cards.

Talaal met me every day as I got off the shuttle coming home. I would ask him what he did that day. He quickly learned to keep it very simple and use hand gestures. "Leab" (play) he said then showed me things.
