SUMMARY:HOME: Lens on Israel Opening Program & Reception
DESCRIPTION:Opening Program &amp\; Reception: February 6\, 2020 • 7:45pm\
 nOur winter exhibition showcases the images of photographers documenting t
 he diverse communities that coexist and collaborate in Israel today\, as w
 ell as the moving work of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
  (JDC). The show\, on generous loan from the Bernard Museum of Temple Eman
 uel and the JDC\, mirrors the journey of its photographers to distinctly h
 armonious Israeli programs\, where they focus on the work of individuals a
 nd pluralistic cultures that call Israel home.\n\nWe see the Edible Garden
 s Initiative project in Kiryat Gat\, which invites at-risk children out of
  the classroom and into a JDC Green Schoolyard for hands-on learning\, bui
 lding its own crop of strong Israelis of the future. We see a Bedouin comm
 unity school in Lakiya that aims to empower its girls and women who tradit
 ionally live isolated domestic lives. The program\, the Desert Embroidery 
 Project\, encourages women to market their embroidery (an acceptable activ
 ity for women in their culture) and teaches them to market it to support t
 hemselves and their families.\n\nJDC pioneers programs that address Israel
 ’s low employment rates of Arab women\, and is instrumental in making it
  more acceptable for them to join the workforce by giving them a culturall
 y-adapted setting to pursue employment. We get a look at programs in Haifa
  aimed at inclusivity for people with disabilities\, aiming to enable them
  to enter the workforce. Over the 70 plus years of Israel’s existence\, 
 the nation has brought people with disabilities out of institutional setti
 ngs into the mainstream.
