Photo-Journalistic Inquiry
Delve Deep Into Being a Jewish Teen
|
Monday, October 30, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
for the first session, with another later workshop planned. Dinner will be served.
Taught by Robin Wald
Bring your cell phone or camera and get ready to have fun exploring what being Jewish means to you by creating photo-stories that represent something about your Jewish identity. Family, friends, rituals, synagogue, learning, mitzvah projects, social justice or anything else that helps define you as a Jewish teen will be looked at through a photographic and creative writing lens.
A photographer in last year’s course won third place internationally, and two of our teens’ photos were displayed in Tel Aviv as part of the Jewish Lens @ Beit Hatfutsot Photo Competition
(click for more details).
This course is open both to students who took last year’s course and beginners! Questions?
Email Robin Wald.
