Among the many holidays observed during the Hebrew month of Tishrei are Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. The photographs on display capture rituals and customs of the month’s holidays in different Jewish communities around the world. While some were taken many years ago and portray events of the past, others offer a contemporary take on festive customs as seen by Israeli camera artists today. A film screened in the exhibition presents footage from the Sukkot harvest and water festival at Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan, a tradition celebrated there annually since 1961.
