Muslim prayer in Mandatory Palestine, c. 1933-1935
A man kneels and bows in the ritual of Muslim prayer, surrounded by palm fronds and the simple flat-roofed architecture typical of the region. The footage was shot in Mandatory Palestine, placed under British administration after the First World War, where Arab and Jewish communities lived side by side. By the mid-1930s, rising Jewish immigration from Europe had sharpened tensions between the two populations, tensions that soon escalated into the Arab Revolt of 1936 to 1939. This brief shot of a man at prayer stands as an example of the everyday religious life of the Arab population at the time.
