EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Konstantin Chernichkin, the contrasting scenes of devotion and celebration unfold on the banks of a serene lake in Uman, Ukraine. The image showcases the annual pilgrimage of thousands of ultra-orthodox Jewish pilgrims who gather to commemorate Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year, at the tomb of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. At first glance, an ultra-orthodox man is seen deep in prayer, his eyes closed and hands clasped tightly as he connects with a higher power. His solemn expression reflects his unwavering faith and dedication to his religious beliefs. In stark contrast to this scene are other devotees joyously dancing nearby. The vibrant energy emanating from these dancers creates a striking juxtaposition against the tranquil backdrop. Their synchronized movements seem to echo their shared sense of spiritual fulfillment and unity within their community. This photograph encapsulates not only religious fervor but also highlights the diverse ways individuals express their faith. It serves as a testament to how people from different walks of life can come together in one place for a common purpose – seeking solace, guidance, and renewal during this significant time. Chernichkin's lens captures both moments that inspire reflection and moments that evoke jubilation; it invites viewers into an immersive experience where they can witness firsthand the profound impact religion has on people's lives.
