EDITORS COMMENTS
Service on the Day of Atonement by the Israelite Soldiers of the Army before Metz, 1870" is a powerful and evocative image that captures the solemnity and reverence of this ancient Jewish tradition as practiced by the soldiers of the Israeli army during the late 19th century. The photograph, taken in 1871, depicts a group of Israelite soldiers gathered together in a makeshift synagogue, their faces serious and focused as they participate in the Yom Kippur service. The Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, is the most sacred day in the Jewish calendar. It is a day of repentance and atonement, a time when Jews seek forgiveness for their sins and ask for God's mercy and protection. The soldiers in this photograph, despite being far from home and in the midst of military duties, have made time to observe this important religious observance. The setting for this service is the army camp before Metz, a city in northeastern France that was a major military hub during the late 19th century. The soldiers are dressed in their uniforms, their weapons and equipment set aside, as they focus on their prayers and rituals. The simple, makeshift synagogue, with its whitewashed walls and makeshift ark, underscores the soldiers' determination to maintain their faith and traditions, even in the midst of military life. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and commitment of the Jewish people, and the importance of faith and community, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It is a powerful testament to the enduring strength of the Jewish faith and the determination of the soldiers to practice their religion, even while serving their country.
