Special Exhibition

HUMANS OF ISRAEL: EREZ KAGANOVITZ

Exhibition on display through September, at the EDCJCC

Humans of Israel combines photojournalism with digital storytelling in order to give a sense of what makes Israel and the diverse humans in it tick. With intriguing, thought-provoking photographs and the stories about the humans behind them, the project puts a human face on an extraordinary place and challenges preconceptions those outsides of Israel may have by communicating a sense of our shared humanity. The Humans of Israel project offers a fresh look at the rich and remarkably diverse lives of Israelis and showcases Israel’s diversity, multiculturalism, and vibrant civil society.

About Erez Kaganovitz: Photographer, native Tel Avivi, and TEDx speaker, Erez Kaganovitz is the human behind the Humans of Tel Aviv, Humans of Israel, and Humans of the Holocaust projects. Through his work, Erez has helped bridge a cultural gap in society both within and outside of Israel. His compelling work brings understanding, emotional connection, and unity to many around the world.

Sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and presented in partnership with the Bender JCC of Greater Washington and the Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia.
