This picture was taken for my seminary's vocations newsletter, using some flash techniques learned on Strobist.
Specs: Off-camera vivitar 285 (to the right of the camera, about 3 ft. from the subject), bounced off white umbrella on 5 ft. light stand. Triggered using eBay magic triggers.
If I would've had more time, I would've put another snooted flash on the crucifix in the background, and made the composition a little nicer (the window kind of cuts through the subject's face).

The prayer of "Ana Bekoah" is a request from God to help us.
"Ana Bekoah" prayer is named also Shem ben Mem-Bet, which means: Name of 42 letters prayer. Actually the name "Ana Bekoah" is because of the first two words that open the prayer.
The significant part of the prayer is not the words themselves, but rather the first letter of each word. These letters taken together comprise the 42 letter name of Hashem, also known as the Holy Name of Creation.
The Prayer:
Ana becho'ach, g'dulat yemincha, tatir tz'rura
Kabel rinat amcha sagveinu, tahareinu nora
Na gibor dorshei yichudcha, k'vavat shamrem
Barchem taharem, rachamei tzidkatcha
Tamid gamlem, chasin kadosh
Berov tuvcha, nahel adatecha
Yachid ge'eh le'amcha p'neh, zochrei k'dushatecha
Shavateinu kabel ushma tza'akateinu, yode'a ta'alumot
(Baruch shem k'vod malchuto le'olam va'ed)
English translation:
We beg thee with the strength and greatness of thy right arm-Untangle our knotted fate.
Accept your people's song, elevate and purify us
Please, heroic one, those who pursue your uniqueness-
guard them as the pupil of an eye.
Bless them, purify them, pity them,
may your righteousness always reward them.
Powerful and Holy One, in goodness lead your flock.
Unique and proud one, to your people turn,
who remember your holiness.
Accept our cries, and hear our screams,
oh knower of mysteries.
(Blessed is the name of his noble kingdom
forever and ever.)

By the time I was born my father had become an atheist, and remained so for the rest of his life. After he died I found relics of his earlier life in the bottom drawer of his dresser; other items stored there included a tallit (prayer shawl) and tefillin (phylacteries). These books likely traveled with him through Europe during World War II. I was fascinated to find these, since I grew up largely non-observant. My own spirituality is not tied to any one religion, though Judaism (and my interpretation of it) is where my roots lie.
The Jewish Holy Scriptures, Presented by the Army of the United States on the left is hardcover, contains only English text, and was printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1942. It also bears a 1917 copyright by the Jewish Publication Society of America, so was likely also used by Jews fighting in World War I. It contains excerpts from the Tanakh (known more commonly as the "Old Testament"). Photographed in slightly smaller scale, it measures 5-1/4 x 3-1/4 inches.
The Prayer Book Abridged for Jews in the Armed Forces of the United States on the right is paperback, with its spine on the right rather than the left and with its pages numbered from right to left. It contains specific prayers rather than Biblical passages (although it does contain some of the Psalms). These include prayers for the Sabbath and High Holy Days, the Mourner's Kaddish, and others that include a memorial prayer for those fallen in battle, prayer on being delivered from danger, prayers for the sick and wounded, prayer during a sea voyage, prayer for the U.S., prayer for moral strength, prayer for home, etc. Right-hand pages are in Hebrew, left-hand pages in English. This book was published not by the U.S. government but by the National Jewish Welfare Board (printed by the Jewish Publication Society), copyright 1941 and 1943. Its original edition of 250,000 copies had been printed in 1917. The two editions printed during World War II number 400,000 and 800,000 copies, respectively. It measures 5 x 3-1/4 inches.

Kyzyl, the capital of Tuva.
Kyzyl, the center of Asia
This city is situated in the place where Biy-Khem (the Big Yenisey) and Ka-Khem ( the Small Yenisey) unite their waters and give a life to the great river Yenisey. The first sightseeing to visit here is the Geographical Centre of Asia. Built in 1964, the monument represents a big globe on which the contours of continents are marked. Tuva and Kyzyl are specially indicated.
Buddhism in Tuva exists in harmony with shaman beliefs.
Very important:
