EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic facade of Maghen Abraham, Beirut's synagogue, located in the heart of downtown Beirut, Lebanon. Taken on January 29,2018, by talented photographer Mohamed Azakir for Reuters Images, this low angle view showcases the intricate details of the gate and fence surrounding this historic religious building. The juxtaposition between the synagogue's traditional architecture and the modern urban cityscape is striking. A solitary palm tree stands tall beside it against a clear blue sky, symbolizing faith and resilience amidst an ever-changing environment. With no people present in the frame, this image invites viewers to appreciate both its creative composition and serene atmosphere. The absence of human presence allows one to reflect on the significance of religion as a pillar that withstands time. Maghen Abraham serves as a testament to Lebanon's rich cultural diversity and religious harmony. Its weathered exterior tells stories from generations past while offering hope for future generations seeking solace within its walls. Mohamed Azakir's skillful capture highlights not only architectural beauty but also emphasizes nature's role in shaping our surroundings. This photograph serves as a reminder that despite differences in beliefs or backgrounds, we are all part of a larger tapestry woven together by history and shared experiences.
