This year, I experienced Jerusalem Day in Jerusalem for the first time, camera in hand, walking through the city to document what I saw.

Jerusalem Day marks the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967 and has become a day of celebration, reflection, prayer, and gratitude for many. In a city as layered and complex as Jerusalem, the day carries different meanings for different people, but it remains one of the most visually and emotionally charged days of the year.

Rather than focusing on a single event or location, I moved through different parts of the city, observing the atmosphere as it unfolded — the celebrations, the quieter corners, and the human moments in between.
