EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image captured by Fabrizio Bensch, a powerful symbol of unity and religious tolerance is displayed in the heart of Berlin. The photograph showcases a magnificent giant menorah standing tall next to a beautifully adorned Christmas tree, both illuminated against the backdrop of the iconic Brandenburg Gate. Taken on December 16,2014, during the festive season, this picture encapsulates the celebration of Hanukkah in Germany's capital city. The juxtaposition of these two significant symbols - one representing Judaism and the other Christianity - highlights Berlin's commitment to embracing diversity and fostering inclusivity among its citizens. This harmonious display serves as a reminder that despite our differences in faith and traditions, we can come together to celebrate each other's cultures. The menorah represents the miracle of Hanukkah when oil meant for only one day burned for eight days in ancient times. Its presence alongside a grand Christmas tree signifies respect for different religious observances during this joyous time of year. Fabrizio Bensch skillfully captures not only an aesthetically pleasing scene but also conveys a profound message about coexistence and mutual respect. This image stands as an enduring testament to Berlin's multicultural spirit while reminding us all that love, understanding, and acceptance are universal values transcending any particular religion or belief system.
