YAAKOV ISRAEL | The Quest for the Man on the White Donkey
According to the Orthodox Jewish tradition, the Messiah (the Prophet) will arrive on a white donkey.
A few years ago, while photographing near the Dead Sea, a Palestinian man rode past me on a white donkey. I photographed him. After developing the plate, I realized I had encountered my Messiah. It was this chance encounter that inspired this work, The quest for the man on the white donkey.
