David Rubinger — CAPTURING HISTORY on camera

Rubinger chronicled Israeli history during his long career, but it was his snapshot of Israeli paratroopers at the Western Wall—after 1,900 years of Exile—that became the iconic image of Jewish victory and return.

Rubinger was a photojournalist for TIME-LIFE magazine for some 50 years and his photos ran the gamut from veteran politicians to new immigrants, from times of war to terms of peace.
