Mea Shearim. ‘Passover is a holiday in which the Jewish people commemorate their liberation, by God, from slavery in Egypt as well as their freedom as a nation under the leadership of Moses. Passover preparations are very chaotic. There are large centres, scattered in different locations across the neighborhood, where each group of residents burns their old bread to make room for something new. This type of bread is made especially for Passover and is named “Matza.” I took a large amount of pictures that day and I was exhausted from the weather and heat from the bonfires. The picture presented here is the last picture I took that day, after climbing a small hill to get my shot.’ © Ofir Barak, Israel.
