This photo was taken in Mea Shearim, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Jerusalem. Mea Shearim is almost entirely populated by Hassidic and ultra-Orthodox Jews, like this man in the photo. When I took this photo, I was most curious about the story behind the melted menorah sitting beside the dumpster. What caused the menorah to melt like that, and why did its owners just throw it in the trash?
