ישראליז ISRAEL-is is an incredible organization whose mission is to use an innovative approach to advocacy, with storytelling at the forefront.

The October 7th Education Center in Sderot is located literally minutes from the Gaza border.
The October 7th Education Center offers an unfiltered, immersive experience into the events of October 7th, 2023 — the darkest day in Israel’s recent history.
Through cutting-edge VR technology, personal testimonies from survivors, and a powerful visual installation, visitors are guided through stories of unimaginable horror, extraordinary bravery, and enduring resilience.

It’s not a museum. It’s a living memory.

Created to bear witness, to fight denial with truth, and to ensure that the voices of those who lived through the massacre are never silenced.

We heard the recorded voices of a mother, a paramedic, a little girl from that day. Some survived to tell their stories. Others did not. While it is gut wrenching, unbearable, and brutally hard to hear, it is imperative to bear witness for all those who lived through it and for those who did not. Brave souls fought valiantly that day and have continued every day thereafter to protect the sanctity of life. We must honour their commitment and sacrifice.

Are you with Israel? The words of a child who is just trying to figure out who will help her. It is an incredibly powerful exhibit that you must experience to understand.

And finally, the Israeli flag waving from above the hill. The symbolism does not go unnoticed, nor does its importance.

A snowstorm in Canada. Silence outside.
And then this photograph — grounding, calming, quietly powerful.
We met under unimaginable circumstances, born out of survival and loss. Yet what you continue to create is filled with beauty, humanity, and meaning.
Thank you for capturing not just images, but feeling — for turning survival into beauty, and moments into meaning. We love and appreciate you.

Portraits. Landscapes. Stories that stay with you.

From the first candle to the last.

While Chanukah 🕎 has ended, this year - as well as the past couple - has been incredibly difficult, but no matter what, we will always make sure to keep our light shining. Our light may flicker and fade, and we may need a helper flame along the way, but we will never let it be blown out. We hold on and carry the torch that those before us have.

As a nation we are never alone. Know who we are and where we come from.

We are a people. And we are always stronger together.

Am Israel Chai. עם ישראל חי 🇮🇱

We will not stop until they are all returned. Each and every one. A world unto themselves and their families. A part of our collective family. We are still waiting. One hostage. Ran Gvili. Ran bolted towards danger like the hero he is. Without question. Without hesitation. To protect his nation. To protect his people.

One nation. One heart.

Until the last hostage. 🎗️

And while we hold onto this we also hold onto the light of our nation. Our enduring light. Our strength.
Am Israel Chai. עם ישראל חי 🇮🇱
