Western Wall Tunnels

"This is part of an underground tunnel exposing the Western Wall in its full length. The carved stones in the bottom are original from the Temple... I walked there with a large tripod, it was awkward and uncomfortable but paid off! I wanted to capture the atmosphere of that special and interesting place with no additional artificial light".

Stones

"If you look when you visit Arlington National Cemetery, you will notice that several headstones have rocks sitting on top of them. This is a Jewish tradition to leave a stone on a headstone to mark that someone has visited the grave site". Taken by Yarnie Spinner

Like a Statue

"Nearly all of the Ethiopian Beit Israel (House of Israel) community, comprising more than 119,300 people, reside in Israel. The Israeli Government has mounted two major rescue operations, Operation Moses (1984) and Operation Solomon (1991), for their migration when civil war and famine threatened populations within Ethiopia. Today, 38,500 members of the community are native born Israelis". Taken by Flavio
