EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of Beitin, also known as Bethel, in the West Bank of the Middle East. Dating back to the biblical era, Beitin holds a profound place in the Old Testament as the site where Jacob, the patriarch of the Israelites, had a dream in which he saw a ladder reaching from earth to heaven with angels ascending and descending (Genesis 28:10-22). The image, taken in the 1920s, shows a group of Arab men lying on the ground near the ancient stones of the site. The wall in the background, adorned with intricate carvings, adds to the mystical atmosphere. The men appear to be in deep conversation, perhaps discussing the rich history and stories that have unfolded on this hallowed ground for thousands of years. The rugged terrain and the stark contrast between the stone wall and the soft, sandy ground create a sense of otherworldliness, transporting us back in time. The image is a poignant reminder of the complex and layered history of the land, which continues to be a source of contention and inspiration for people of all faiths and backgrounds. Beitin, with its ancient ruins and biblical significance, stands as a testament to the enduring power of history and the human spirit. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the stories and traditions that have shaped the world we live in today.
