They can barely hold back their giggles. "You? You who thinks the best napkin is the hair on your arm? Elegant? C'maaaaan." Okay okay okay. So I stir my coffee with my soup spoon. But by Israeli standards, yes, by George, I am downright mannerly! My mother would never be- lieve me, but it's true. What a peculiar position to be in: The brash young man finds himself in a coun- try where "brash" describes those with gentler natures. What a switch! Okay it's the price I have to pay for living in my own country. So be it. It's almost fun now being proud of my good manners.

Which is the oleh? Two men: one waits patiently to board a bus while the other insinuates himself around, through and sometimes over other passengers to board first. Which is the oleh? The same two in a bank; one waits a polite distance behind the customer at the counter who is in the midst of a transaction, the other stands head-to-head, look- ing over the first customer's shoulder as the teller counts out the money. Which is the oleh? In a word: an oleh — espe- cially a western oleh — can be picked out of a crowd of people who are wearing ba- thing suits. He's the one who isn't shoving. He's the one polite one.
