How many photos have you taken in the last 48 hours? What message did you try to capture? As our world becomes increasingly consumed with the might of a single image, whether it be of politics, protests or personal identity, we realize what power – and responsibility – we have when taking and sharing photos. The RootOne Lens online session, in partnership with The Jewish Lens at The Museum of the Jewish People and RootOne, utilizes Jewish texts and values to analyze photographs and show how our unique identities as young Jews in the 21st century are comprised of diverse factors. This session will also cover the basics of taking a good photograph on your smart phone in preparation for your upcoming experience in Israel. Once in Israel, you’ll be challenged to capture three different moments throughout the trip that showcase your relationship with the country, it’s people, and the visual spectacle that makes up the Jewish State.

 

So, grab a snack, sit back, relax, and watch this one-hour photography lesson to prep you for your Israel experience!
