“Their expressions reflect the yearning and struggle of millennia, the petition for life and well-being and the thanksgiving of homecoming.”

Of all the hallowed Western Wall’s myriad facets, photographer Richard Shavei-Tzion is particularly fascinated by the faces of those who visit this most public and private place.“For they [the faces] most eloquently describe its immense power and its ability to move the breadth and depth of the Jewish people and others, to a place of contemplation, passion and spirituality beyond the physical confines of the Kotel square,” he explains.“Their expressions reflect the yearning and struggle of millennia, the petition for life and well-being and the thanksgiving of homecoming.”An instinctive photographer, his works appear on websites and in news publications, and were recently displayed in a solo exhibition at Jerusalem’s Municipal Art Gallery.
