EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of communal dining among Druze followers in Lebanon, circa 1910. The Druze, an enigmatic and ancient faith with approximately 750,000 to 800,000 adherents in Syria, Lebanon, and Israel, cannot be neatly categorized as Muslim, Jewish, or Christian. Instead, they hold unique tenets that recognize Mohammed as a prophet sent by God, but reject the idea of a final prophet. The Druze in this image appear deeply engrossed in their meal, their faces reflecting a sense of contentment and connection. The group is led by a Sheikh, a spiritual leader, who sits at the head of the table. The communal meal, a significant aspect of Druze culture, symbolizes unity and shared faith. The Druze people have a rich history, with their origins dating back over a thousand years. Their name, which is also spelled Druze, Duruz, or Duroz, is derived from the Arabic word 'durus' meaning 'knowledge.' The Tawhid faith, as it is also known, emphasizes the oneness of God and the importance of the individual's spiritual journey. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history and traditions of the Druze people. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of community, faith, and the simple pleasure of sharing a meal with loved ones.
