About the book

A trilingual documentary masterpiece (Hebrew, English, and Arabic) capturing 15 years on the streets of Jerusalem. Spanning 304 pages in a museum quality format, the work features moments carefully selected from an archive of 1.5 million frames. Honored with an official letter of blessing from the President of Israel, Isaac Herzog, the book has been acquired by institutions such as Anu, Museum of the Jewish People, and the Leichtag Foundation, and is archived in Israel's National Library. As U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee wrote: "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." All Hebrew lettering in the book, including the cover title, is set in a typeface made from the handwriting of the late Aner Shapira, a hero of October 7, through the Ot Chaim initiative.
