But "A Tale of Two Cities: Bethsaida, Israel and Dresden, Germany -- 4,000 Years of Archeology and History," a new exhibit at the University of Hartford's George J. Sherman and Lottie K. Sherman Museum of Jewish Civilization, seeks to connect the two seemingly disparate communities.
"'A Tale of Two Cities' is intended to tell the stories of Israel and the Diaspora -- a city in ancient Israel and the city of Dresden, in the midst of the European Diaspora that served the Jews so well.
It is a story of integrated Jews far from the main centers of Jewish life in Jerusalem and the yeshivot of Poland who lived lives of Jewish interest and culture different than the main centers," explains Dr. Richard Freund, director of the Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies at the university and the Sherman Museum.

 New Scientist Breaking News - Island cities planned off Israel's coast
Two artificial islands, each a square-kilometre in size, could soon be given the go-ahead for construction off Israel's Mediterranean coast.
Even at an estimated cost of $1 billion each, the islands could be a cost-effective solution to the high demand for living and office space around Tel Aviv, say the islands' backers.
However, Yoram Zimmels, professor of civil engineering at the Technion, the university where the artificial islands were first conceived, says the annual costs of shifting sand around an island would be well under $1 million.
