Waiting for the volcano…

I’m sitting at home waiting anxiously to see whether an assignment in Israel will actually happen on Thursday as planned or whether the Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajökull, will have the last laugh.
Looking through my archive, I found that the last time I was there, I had an assignment to photograph a Rabbi detective. Very interesting chap – a sort of Yiddish Philip Marlowe. Anyway, here’s a few pictures from that trip when airline travel was easier…

Israel - Jerusalem - Yehuda Gordon, a Jerusalem based Rabbi that is charged by the Rabbinical courts to trace errant husbands that refuse to divorce their wives and so deny them access to the their rights under Jewish law.
Israel - Jerusalem - Israeli soldiers pray at the 'Wailing' or Western Wall in Jerusalem
Israel - Jerusalem - an Orthodox Jewish boy
