Simon Family JCC

Erez Kaganovitz, photojournalist and creator of Humans of Tel Aviv, has an educational and fun event planned for families when he visits Tidewater as part of the Simon Family JCC, CRC, community partners’ Israel Today series.

Kaganovitz is on a mission with his photojournalism saying, “I believe that knowledge is a great power for change. The first step towards multiculturalism and respect among different Humans is to get a better understanding about the unique culture and values that every different facet of humanity holds. By telling the life stories of different humans from different backgrounds, Humans of Tel Aviv is trying to change (even a little) the way we are all seeing one another.”

During his Tidewater visit, Kaganovitz will lead a Tikun Olam Family Workshop in the Sukkah focusing on the Social Fabric of Tel Aviv; taking a journey with children and their parents to discover the diversity and inclusivity of Tel Aviv. With components such as a story matching game, interactive discussions will allow kids to see that, as humans, people are all much more alike than different.

Participants will also be able to capture their own special moment around the Sandler Family Campus in the style of Humans of Tel Aviv with direction from the artist.

RSVP required as space is limited, Tickets— Child: $8/$6 JCC members, Adult: $11/$9 JCC members, Family: $32/$25 JCC members. This event takes place 5:30–6:30 pm, with dinner served beginning at 5 pm.
