EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photo captured by Ammar Awad, an Israeli ultra-Orthodox Jew stands tall, peering over a wall as demonstrators block a road in Bnei Brak, Israel. The image portrays the deep devotion and unwavering faith of this worshipper who is part of a community member protesting against the detention of one of their own who refuses to serve in the Israeli army. The unrecognizable figure clad in traditional black attire and hat represents not only his individuality but also symbolizes the collective struggle faced by orthodox Jews. As he gazes into the distance, shadows cast upon his face hint at the challenges they encounter on their spiritual journey. The juxtaposition between this devout man and his surroundings creates an intriguing contrast. While nature's elements - clouds, sun, shrubs - create a serene backdrop, it is disrupted by human intervention: blocked roads and wires that speak volumes about their determination to fight for what they believe in. This photograph captures more than just a moment; it encapsulates connection – both with religion and fellow believers – as well as resilience amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder that faith can be expressed creatively through peaceful protests while striving for justice within one's community. Ammar Awad skillfully brings attention to an ongoing issue without revealing any commercial interests or affiliations. Through this image, we are invited to reflect on religious freedom and its complexities within society today.
