A Jewish worshipper prays at the Western Wall during prayers marking Tisha B Av

A Jewish worshipper prays at the Western Wall during prayers marking Tisha B Av, in Jerusalems Old City early July 20, 2010. Tisha B Av, a day of fasting and lament, is traditionally the date in the Jewish calendar on which the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem were destroyed, respectively in the sixth century B.C. by the Babylonians and the first century A.D. by the Romans.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Darren Whiteside, we witness a powerful moment of faith and devotion. The image showcases a Jewish worshipper deep in prayer at the Western Wall during the solemn occasion of Tisha B Av. As night falls over Jerusalem's Old City, the atmosphere becomes charged with both mystery and reverence. The unrecognizable figure stands alone, their body partially concealed by religious clothing, emphasizing the universal nature of this act of worship. With eyes closed and head bowed in concentration, they confront their innermost thoughts while connecting to something greater than themselves. The Western Wall itself serves as an iconic backdrop for this scene. It is not merely a historic site but also a religious symbol that holds immense significance for Jews worldwide. This sacred space has witnessed countless prayers throughout history and continues to be a place where people come to seek solace, guidance, and connection with God. Whiteside's creative use of lighting adds depth to the composition, casting shadows that enhance the sense of spirituality surrounding this solitary figure. The copy space allows viewers to reflect on their own beliefs or emotions evoked by such an intimate display of faith. This photograph beautifully captures one individual's unwavering commitment to tradition amidst the bustling urban cityscape—a reminder that even in our fast-paced world, moments like these can ground us in our shared humanity and remind us of what truly matters: our relationship with something higher than ourselves.
