About the BookPart memoir and part spiritual journey, Encountering Israel asks, "Who am I, and What does Israel mean to me?" But for most, the photos spark one burning question: "In what ways can we understand Israel today?" Self-published in 2015, a new and expanded edition of the book is in the works and a catalogue for the 2016 exhibition is available here. With more than 100 full-color photographs by Susan R. Ressler, the new book will include an in-depth contextual essay by Israeli historian Marc J. Rosenstein, as well as an afterword by noted author Rabbi Paul J. Citrin. |
