6. Same here!

I'm a total atheist, but I do the same. The owner of the gas station I go to gets the biggest smile when I say it. And this year, I talked to him and asked a few questions about their Eid feast. He just was going on and on about his wife's cooking and he just really looking forward.

I asked him where he was from and his eyes saddened a little. "Palestine." He answered. I said, "Oh, my friend, I am so sorry. I have no words to help." I said, "Just know that there are some of us who want a peaceful resolution and a homeland for both Palestinians and Israelis." He smiled again and said, "Yes. We can live in peace if we choose."

As I left, I said, "Assalamu alaikum!" And he replied, "Walaikum Assalam,"

And as Passover begins for my Jewish friends this Monday, I say, "Chag Sameach!"
