This is a long one. Please read.
October 7th was the day the world changed forever and that life as we knew it ceased to exist. The fears that we have held deep in our bones, the generations of trauma that have led to our very existence, have become real.
While the world forever shifted under our feet, as a global collective and especially as the Jewish community, we found our strength. The blood of ancient warriors, of lions, of Maccabees, of freed slaves, of survivors began coursing through our veins with a ferocity that was unimaginable a mere generation ago.
What happened on 10/7 didn’t only impact Israel. It changed Jews the world over.
This is the story that I am seeking to tell in this yet unnamed photo project.
I am inviting YOU:
🇮🇱 Israelis of all religious affiliations, religions, colors, ethnic backgrounds
✡️ Diaspora Jews from all over the world of all streams of Judaism
🤝 Our incredible allies globally who continue with us in the face of hatred and prejudice
to tell YOUR story, to share the incredible things we have accomplished as a small but powerful nation, united as never before as we keep the promise we have made to each other and to our ancestors of NEVER AGAIN.
I will be telling the story of *survival, of strength, of resilience, of community, of brotherhood, of love, and of life*
If you would like to be included in this project, or would like to nominate someone, please comment below, tag them, share this with them, or contact me directly.
I will be collecting photos and testimony from as many people as I can, and will be traveling internationally to make it happen.
***Participation is free of charge.***
Collected testimonies will be shared online and hopefully one day exhibited or published.
Thank you.
Looking forward to better and brighter days.
Love,
Elyte
