David Shlachter - JBF 26

David Shlachter is a Tel Aviv- and California-based portrait photographer whose work reveals the human stories behind contemporary Israel. His new book, Hinenu: Israel at Ten Million, combines striking photography with oral history, portraying 100 Israelis–Jewish and non-Jewish, religious and secular, and people of all ages–at the moment Israel’s population reached ten million.

Experience Israel beyond headlines, arguments, and abstractions through the faces and stories of the people who call it home. Whether your connection to Israel feels strong, complicated, distant, or still developing, this visually rich evening offers a moving opportunity to deepen your understanding and reconnect with Israel’s diversity, resilience, and humanity.

This event is made possible by the Jewish Book Council.
