EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Baz Ratner, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish man is seen deep in prayer outside Rachels Tomb in the West Bank town of Bethlehem. The image portrays a moment of profound devotion as the worshipper bows his head and seeks solace within the shelter cover, enveloped by darkness. The silhouette of this unrecognizable figure against the night sky adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The significance of this location is not lost on those who visit it. Rachel's Tomb holds great religious importance for Jewish worshippers, who believe that they are commemorating the anniversary of her death through their prayers. This historic site stands as a testament to faith and serves as both a religious symbol and architectural marvel. Dressed in traditional black clothing, this pious individual exemplifies unwavering commitment to their faith. Despite being alone in their act of worship, they stand strong with conviction, confronting whatever challenges may lie ahead. Through creative use of lighting and composition, Ratner captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions associated with spirituality and reverence. This photograph invites viewers into a world where religion takes center stage – where one man's prayer becomes an expression of devotion amidst urban surroundings.
