About the book

“Jerusalemites” is Sharon Gabay's sixth photography book — a 304-page visual essay distilling 15 years of street photography in Jerusalem. The book is a human archive of the city: not its stones, but its people — the faces, the moments, and the human mosaic of religions, cultures and communities living side by side.

It is printed to museum standard — hardcover, 170gsm matte coated paper and a premium finish. A trilingual edition in Hebrew, English and Arabic, so that everyone who holds it — from every community — is invited in.

This is a collector's book. Printed in a limited edition, each copy is part of a documented archive of contemporary Jerusalem.

What people say about the book

Thank you, dear Sharon Gabay, for this mission you carried out with talent, with professionalism, and above all with an immense love for Jerusalem.
Isaac Herzog, President of Israel
You are such a unique photographer. You have the ability to photograph the soul of the people, and in this book, one can see the soul of Jerusalem. It is an amazing and important book that deserves to be distributed globally.
Mike Huckabee, U.S. Ambassador to Israel
Sharon doesn't just photograph the Western Wall, the walls and the stones, but the human fabric that gives Jerusalem its soul. Thank you, Sharon, for building a living archive of Jerusalem — not only as it looks, but as it feels.
Rabbi Menachem Bombach
An important book like no other.
