EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Menahem Kahana, a group of ultra-Orthodox Jews can be seen fervently praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City during an extraordinary moment. The date is January 7th, 2002, and it marks the first snowfall of the year. As storms sweep in from the north, Israel finds itself engulfed in heavy snowfall that blankets not only Jerusalem but also the Golan Heights and the West Bank. The image showcases a mesmerizing contrast between ancient traditions and modern weather conditions. Despite the freezing temperatures and snarled traffic across the country, these devout individuals remain steadfast in their devotion to Judaism. Clad in traditional attire with prayer shawls draped over their shoulders, they stand united against a backdrop of white wonderland. As snowflakes gently fall from above, some members of this congregation seek shelter under umbrellas while continuing their prayers. This unexpected blend of winter magic and religious dedication creates a truly remarkable scene that speaks volumes about faith's ability to endure even amidst nature's fury. Menahem Kahana's skillful documentation selection allows us to witness this offbeat moment frozen in time—a testament to both Jewish spirituality and Mother Nature's unpredictable whims. Through his lens, we are transported into an enchanting world where tradition meets meteorological marvels—an illustration of resilience within Israeli society that will forever be etched into our memories.
