“Don't Tell My Mother I'm in Iran [1]” is an interesting look into Iran [2] and shows me (in my opinion) that it's not necessarily Iran that's bad, but the Iranian government (I suppose one could say the same of us—we're not bad, but our government is certainly questionable).
It's also hard to fathom there being twenty-five (25!) synagogues in Tehran [3]. Who'da thunk?
