My Yom Yerushalayim Post



Does this picture bother anyone else?

I mean, I like the compostion, and I like the look of awe on the face of the paratroopers but Jews don't uncover their heads when they approach holy sites. Put your helmut back on blondie!

Yes, yes. This is a small, and pointless quibble. Isn't that why you visit me?

Update: I'm not faulting the guy for uncovering his head. I'm suggesting it's ironic that this iconic Jewish photo features a man in a distinctly UnJewish pose.
