The Western Wall
Until 1967 there were buildings that had been built right up to within six feet of the Western Wall, creating a narrow alleyway for those who wanted to pray. After the Six Day War in 1967, Israel demolish all the buildings, creating a large open plaza in front of the wall.
All the photographs featured in the calendar were taken by an Israeli photographer named Jack Hazut of www.israelimage.net.
