G2G: Generation to Generation

Connecting generations in the past, present and future

Yael Rosen

”To tell the truth […], I enjoy talking with very old people. They have gone before us on a road by which we too may have to travel, and I think we do well to learn from them what it is like, easy or difficult, rough or smooth”

Socrates in “The Republic” by Plato

Rationale

“I was very excited when we reached the Kotel, the Western Wall. Very moved. I thought about my grandfather. All of Jewish history passed before my eyes. There was even the cavalier who trampled Rabbi Judah HaLevi [of the 12th century, in front of the Western Wall] with his horse. These mighty stones, great stones, so special, so noble, so impressive. There really was a feeling of exaltation when touching the stones of the Western Wall…

Yes, I was surprised when the photo of the paratroopers at the Western Wall was published. There was a photographer there, David Rubinger, who somehow, by the Kotel, laid down on the ground and caught me and two other friends, Haim Oshri and Zion Karasenti, and captured this photo”
