Places here in Israel, places abroad . . . they all have a relevance in your lives. However, the picture chosen as our winner was of the Hurva Synagogue, Jerusalem, taken by Robert Schenk, of Raanana. His prize is a 32GB Ultra Class 10 SDHC card, of SanDisk Corporation – a global leader in flash memory storage solutions.
