Join us for a conversation with author, photographer, and former Portland-Native/CNS congregant, Dave Shlachter, as he presents his exciting new work.
 
Hinenu: Israel at Ten Million is a new photography and oral-history book capturing Israel through the lives of 100 people at the exact moment the country reached a population of ten million.
Created during wartime and deep national uncertainty, the project pairs striking portraits with first-person stories that reflect Israel's full demographic mosaic—Jews and Arabs, religious and secular, sabras and immigrants, elders and children—mirroring the latest census data.
 
Intentionally apolitical, Hinenu (Hebrew for Here we are) is an act of listening: a human portrait of a society still becoming itself, told in its own voices.
