Hevron, the City of Our Fathers I started photographing in Hevron in 1976 when I came to learn at Yeshivat Nir, in nearby Kiryat Arba. Jews were yet to be allowed to live in Hevron proper. Today, with God's help, there is a thriving community. The central feature of Hevron is the Ma'arat haMachela, the Cave of the Patriarchs. This beautiful ancient building dominates Hevron. I have continued to photograph in the area over the years and present you here with two galleries, one of Ma'arat haMachpela, the famous building above the burial cave, and the second depicting other sections of Hevron. Some of the photographs are historic, photographed mainly in 1976, and many are, I believe, graphically very interesting. I hope you enjoy these photographs and hope too that you visit Hevron very soon. |
