EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Menahem Kahana, we are transported back in time to a nostalgic and offbeat moment amidst the snow-covered streets of Jerusalem. Against the backdrop of the iconic Western Wall, an ultra-orthodox Jew finds joy in playing with abandon in the freshly fallen snow. The scene is made even more enchanting as two black cats curiously observe his playful antics. The thick layer of snow has brought Jerusalem to a virtual standstill, with buses canceled and schools closed. Yet, amidst these disruptions, this photograph captures a timeless moment that transcends such mundane concerns. It reminds us that sometimes it's important to pause and find delight in simple pleasures. This image beautifully encapsulates the unique blend of tradition and whimsy found within Israel's diverse culture. The juxtaposition between ancient religious customs represented by the orthodox Jew and the unexpected presence of mischievous feline companions adds an element of surprise to this already remarkable scene. Menahem Kahana's skillful composition not only freezes this extraordinary instant but also invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with winter wonderlands. This photo truly deserves recognition as AFP's "Photo of the Month" serving as a reminder that beauty can be found even in unexpected places during challenging times.
