Israel@60: Part 2
Yehoshua Halevi
View Slideshow
The essence of Israel cannot be summed up with one or even 10 photographs. From the ancient to the modern, from the verdant north to the sandy south, Israel is culturally and physically so diverse and constantly changing as we move through the seasons and the cycle of the Jewish year. This small collection of images represents some of the pride, devotion, challenge and beauty of Israel as it celebrates 60 years of modern statehood.
