      abstract = {This upbeat documentary depicts the social space of a  kosher Middle Eastern grocery store in the traditionally  Sephardic section of Brooklyn. Serving the local Syrian  Jewish clientele, it has now also become a kind of social  headquarters for expatriate Israelis as well as other  Middle Eastern customers. Impromptu interviews with  customers reveal their nostalgia for other places and  times, as well as their ambivalence about life in America.  The vividly polyglot customers -- Hebrew, English, Syrian  and Egyptian Arabic as well as snippets of other languages  are heard -- paint a portrait of the complexities of  multicultural life in a diaspora setting and the  compromises necessary to forging a new identity in a new  place. Of interest to classes in anthropology, Middle East  and Jewish studies.},
