Jerusalem’s Old City is full of history, but it’s the people who bring it to life. During Sukkot, I wandered through the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian Quarters, with my camera in hand, meeting locals and travelers. Come see the faces and moments that tell the real story of Jerusalem.

Just days before the hostages came home, I photographed the roadsides of Israel — rallies, posters, and handmade signs that turned highways into galleries of solidarity. These images capture a country holding its breath, waiting for a moment that felt almost impossible to believe.

On Monday morning at Hostage Square, the air was thick with relief, hope, and quiet celebration. With each announcement of a safe return, hearts lifted and tears were shared among strangers united by fear, grief, and finally, the joy of homecomings. Through my lens, I captured these fleeting, tender moments, these snapshots of a nation slowly breathing again.
