As an Israeli-born Jew with a secular up bringing education, I became familiar with and learned to appreciate and respect the people who lead a religious lifestyle while photographing them. This book documents that meeting between secular and religious without trying to explain the lifestyle and customs of Judaism. Many books have been written by Israel's great sages, Rabbis, spiritual and academic leaders and they explain, interpret and reveal the origins of these customs and ceremonies. As a photographer, it was important for me to show the religious experiences of Israeli Jews from my personal point of view.
