2022 was a tumultuous one, in Israel and around the world.
In a year filled with wars and political mayhem, there was no shortage of memorable events, even if some we'd like to forget.
However, not everything was so doom and gloom.
Aside from the conflict, politics and war, there were also many good things to remember and even everyday images to treasure.
From rallying in support of Ukraine, keeping calm and carrying on amid a wave of terrorism and even just a cute image of a turtle, there is no shortage of memorable pictures that document the many ways in which our world continues to change.
And here are some of those images.
The following were chosen by Jerusalem Post photographer Marc Israel Sellem as his personal favorite pictures of the year 2022.
“Wherever I am, I always try to find the picture that will tell the story from a different angle,” he says.
