<DIV>1. Hashem is everywhere but His presence is more manifest, more
"intense," more accessible, in certain places than in others -- more in E'Y than
in chu'l, more at the Kosel than anywhere else.</DIV>

<DIV>2. I see how west of one city could be east of another but I don't
see how one person's east could be another person's north or south. IIRC
if you start shmoneh esrei and then realize you're facing the wrong direction,
if you're facing west you just continue because west -- if you go far enough --
will also get you to Yerushalayim. But if you find that you are facing
north or south, you have to turn. That's what I heard, anyway, not sure if
I really have that halacha right.</DIV>
