“Spirit in the Streets of Jerusalem” (2022) is a digital photography piece by Isabelle Young. This photo was captured in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City in Jerusalem, Israel. Parts of the walled city area date back to the 8th Century BCE, and the Jewish people have inhabited the area nearly continuously throughout history, aside from forced expulsion and systemic violence and destruction by colonists. Israeli pride and spirit (“ruach” רוּחַ) represent more than patriotism for the State of Israel; they commemorate and honor the thousands of years of strength, hope, and perseverance of the Jewish people.
