Jewish American Heritage Month

Posted By admin on April 13, 2022

Photographer Zion Ozeris new Passover Haggadah, Pictures Tell, is a journey of images documenting Jewish life worldwide.

The 76-page Haggadah, published by Gefen Publishing House, was edited by Joshua Feinberg and Sara Wolkenfeld, and includes Ozeris photos from his decades of travel.

The photos are set alongside the traditional Haggadah text, as well as insights from Jewish thinkers such as Daniel Gordis, Yossi Klein Halevi, Deborah Lipstadt, Jonathan Sarna, David Wolpe, and others.

Ozeri, who was born to a Yemenite family in Israel, was raised during the years of mass immigration from other countries, instilling in him a lifelong interest in cross-culture perspectives.

He has lived in New York City for many years, graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Pratt Institute.

The Haggadah is a continuation of his professional work, which includes Ozeris Jewish Lens program, a curriculum designed for middle school and high school students.

The educational program uses Ozeris photographs as a method of stimulating young Jewish students to connect to the traditions of the global Jewish community. The students learn how to read photos and develop their own reflections on Jewish life.

We're telling a critical story

Israel is now a far more prominent player on the world stage than its size suggests. As The Times of Israel's Diplomatic Correspondent, I'm well aware that Israel's security, strategy and national interests are always scrutinized and have serious implications.

It takes balance, determination, and knowledge to accurately convey Israel's story, and I come to work every day aiming to do so fully.

Financial support from readers like you allows me to travel to witness both war (I just returned from reporting in Ukraine) and the signing of historic agreements. And it enables The Times of Israel to remain the place readers across the globe turn to for accurate news about Israel's relationship with the world.

If it's important to you that independent, fact-based coverage of Israel's role in the world exists and thrives, I urge you to support our work. Will you join The Times of Israel Community today?

Thank you,

Lazar Berman, Diplomatic Correspondent
