EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the biblical town of Kiriath Jearim, now known as Deir el-Azar or Tel Qiryat Yearim, comes into view. Nestled in the Jerusalem district of Israel, this ancient settlement is mentioned numerous times in the Old Testament. Dating back to the 2nd millennium BCE, Kiriath Jearim holds significant historical and religious importance for Jews and Christians alike. The image captures the timeless beauty and tranquility of the town, with its stone buildings nestled amidst a lush, green landscape. The structures, some with intricate architectural details, stand proudly against the backdrop of rolling hills and towering trees. The scenery is reminiscent of the biblical descriptions of the land of Canaan, with its fertile valleys and verdant vegetation. Despite the passage of centuries, the town retains its charm and mystique, transporting us back to a time when the stories of the Old Testament were not just tales of the past, but living history. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich cultural and religious heritage that continues to thrive in the Middle East, and the enduring allure of the Holy Land. The photograph was taken in the 1920s, a time when the region was undergoing significant political and social changes. Yet, despite the turbulence, the town of Kiriath Jearim remains a beacon of history and tradition, a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of its people. The image invites us to pause and reflect on the past, while also acknowledging the present and looking towards the future with hope and wonder.
