This photo was taken shortly after Yom Kippur last year. I hardly had a chance to eat something and saw this beautiful scene of cantor Tzvi Tzatzkes singing near the Rebbe’s Ohel just as he did at the Rebbe’s farbrengens.

Weddings may share the same components, yet each one is truly unique.
I can’t ask for a better and more fulfilling job than witnessing and being part of a couple’s special day, and getting to see families coming together. In my work, I try to portray that because each wedding is really different.
Joining the annual Mitzvah Tank parade in New York City, I noticed that the rear-view mirror captured both the iconic skyline and the expression of Jewish pride.
My prayer for the new year is that the current Golus will be visible to us from the rear-view mirror.

United and faithful. I took this photo of the plaza in front of the Kotel from a rare angle. It shows a group of visiting Jewish teenagers sitting in a circle and singing together. For me, it says everything about the Kotel as a place that united us all.
This photo was taken during my journey documenting the writing a sefer Torah in honor of the Baal Shem Tov with Rabbi Reuven Wolf of Maayon Yisroel of Los Angeles.
At the foot of this enclosure in a small Jewish cemetery, there was no marker on a mass grave of perhaps 5,000 Jewish souls. I asked our Ukrainian guide how many people visit this site a year. “Less then ten,” he replied. Kaddish was soon said there.
I hope those who see this image will have in mind the lives of these hidden souls who died Kiddush Hashem this Yom Kippur.

Police patrol the streets to enforce law and order, but who knew they also blow kisses…
I was photographing this bride in Brooklyn, NY, when 2 female NYPD officers passing by in a van stopped to extend their wishes. It showed that everyone has a softer side.
Zoom into this GigaPan interactive photo and what you see are more than faces.
This group photo from the historic European Kinus Hashluchim was taken in the Lubavitch (Lyubavichi) village in Russia, home of Chabad Rebbes for 102 years. This photo tells the story of the survival of Jewish light verses the Soviet darkness.
The thought of the Beis Hamikdash came to mind when I saw the reflection in the window.
This photo was taken from the historic Churva Synagogue located in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.
RACHEL FELLIG!! This list is not complete without her.
Mushki Lighstone is a mystical photographer that catchs a glimpse of reality and transforms it into a spiritual bliss!
He puts all these photographers to shame. I hope you have his best picture on next time!
Mr. Baruch Ezagui definitely has the best photograph by far.
IS THE BOMB!!
It really captured a great moment!! And it’s true Meir, you can find a ‘soft side’ in everyone and everything!!!
Yasher Koach!
Love the lights of the bais hamikdosh in the right place!
Soon it will be more than a reflection!
For sure Mendel Meyers even though he wasn’t on there
This is an amazing photo – it is so unlikely for Western folks to find such a remarkable, hidden Bais Ha’Kevoros with 1000’s of our brother and sister’s souls resting peacefully.

You are missing one of the best photographers in Lubavitch-Levi Teitlebaum!
#7 is showing up blank on my iPhone. What am I doing wrong?
I love this selection
i love the pics that are taken at that spot, no planning or posing those are really awesome
they are all great but there are also many other great photographers in Chabad just wondering how they picked
love the photo, but the comment of seeing the galus in the rear view mirror was even better. he is a talented photographer, singer and good with words and brochos too!
great pick
definitely him
