The exhibition Light of the World, at the U. Nahon Museum of Italian Jewish Art, presents photographs of synagogues in Jewish communities around the world taken over the past three decades by American-born Israeli photographer Neil Folberg.
They include both well-known places and ones that were lesser known. Some of the Jewish communities he documented no longer exist; others are still active and vital. His photographs show the influence of local customs and culture on Jewish communal life as well as on the architectural and artistic choices in the design of these communities’ synagogues.
This is Folberg’s first solo exhibition in Israel.
Most of the photographs were printed using the evercolor technique, which is no longer in use. These photographs are among the last to be printed using it. The technique involves printing with carbon pigment in four layers of color that are precisely placed one on top of the other, resulting in the photograph’s unusual vibrancy.
The exhibition is included with the general Museum ticket. Admission prices: Adult – 25 shekels, Senior Citizen (with ID) – 12 shekels, Child (ages 5–18) – 15 shekels.
