I'm looking for someone familiar with Jewish and/or Israeli customs upon whom I can bounce cultural questions. A fair segment of my current novel WIP is based in Tel Aviv, and I would like to be able to pick someone's brain to ensure some level of accuracy.
Given accurate enough information, I am willing to compensate the source in some fashion.
Reply here if you are interested, or ping me at rdrhoads at dev-null-productions dot com.

My knowledge is pretty thin, but I studied Israeli history in an "official" University setting, so I have the detached-distant-superficial-academic knowledge of some parts of the conflict over there, if that helps, and a few ideas of resources.
Go ahead and ask me if you want, worst I could do is say I don't know. If I don't, I may be able to point you in the right direction...

Just to clarify, I'm looking for someone I can bounce questions concerning typical customs, points of interest, perhaps even some dialogue. General history I'm okay with, and doesn't particularly pertain to the story at hand. But I really need someone that can look at a particular scene and tell me that, "No one that lives in Tel Aviv would ever do that," or "Forget what you've named this place. Name it this instead."
