As discussed in prior blog posts, one of the recurring themes throughout our time in Israel is the existence of a profound religious presence. “The Holy Land”, has truly earned its name. While experiencing the modern Jewish state that Israel represents, we have continually witnessed the multi-faith reality of this nation. From studying the Biblical value of Jerusalem, to discussing the experience of religious minorities in Israel, to learning the historic path of religion among the Bedouin, our group has understood the diverse yet ever-present value of religion in Israeli society. There have been, and continue to be, issues and challenges due to this distinct multi-faith presence in Israel. However, one thing people can agree upon is the great aesthetic contributions of religion on display throughout Israel. I’ve captured just a few examples of this in the photographs below.
