Jerusalem

Jerusalem is Israel's spiritual heart and the center of the political life. It is a city that weighs heavy on the
soul of its visitors, a city of contrasts and reflections. And... Jerusalem is a paradise for photographers.
It is a place where the past meets the present, where sacred meets the ordinary, in a chaotic mix of so many
religions and worshippers, from all parts of the globe. But above all symbols, Jerusalem is a living thriving city, rich with
cafe's, music and night-life, people of all colors, with busy markets and everyday life. On a personal note - my
grandfather fought for Jerusalem in 1948, my father had a part in the 6-days-war re-uniting Jerusalem in 1967, and I am
named after it...

The topics:

• Jerusalem - in the footsteps of King David, Jesus and Mohammed.

  hundreds of holy places in one square kilometre (the size of 5 home-depot stores

  in the USA).

• Mea Sha'arim - "past continued" in Orthodox Jerusalem.

• Jerusalem syndrome - The city's Holiness is overwhelming: 200 people a year

  claiming to be a biblical figure...

• From the ancient markets to the fancy clubs of modern Jerusalem.

• Tel-Aviv, the business and cultural center versus Jerusalem, the historical and

  spiritual capital - an insiders view.
