EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a group of Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men can be seen performing the Tashlich ritual on the picturesque shore of the Mediterranean Sea in Ashdod. The image, captured by Amir Cohen, beautifully encapsulates the essence of this religious ceremony that takes place ahead of Yom Kippur, known as the Jewish Day of Atonement. Dressed in their traditional clothes and wearing hats, these devout individuals stand in formation along the water's edge. With heads bowed down in prayer and hands outstretched towards the sea, they engage in a solemn act of casting away sins from the past year into its depths. The serene reflection on the calm waters adds an ethereal quality to this powerful moment. The composition skillfully captures both human elements and nature's beauty. The unrecognizable faces allow viewers to focus on their collective devotion rather than individual identities. Meanwhile, waves gently crash against their feet as if symbolizing purification and renewal. This photograph showcases not only faith but also creative use of depth-of-field techniques with some parts intentionally out of focus. It serves as a reminder that religion often intertwines with our environment and connects us to something greater than ourselves. Amir Cohen's lens has successfully frozen this significant religious practice within a single frame—a testament to both his artistic talent and his ability to capture moments that transcend time itself.
