Warning: Images in the exhibition depict war and graphic content. Photojournalist Ziv Koren’s searing photographs bear witness to October 7 and its aftermath, capturing devastation alongside moments of resilience and humanity. Presented by the Temple Emanu-El Bernard Museum of Judaica in conjunction with Koren’s 22nd photography book, The October 7 War, the exhibition features images taken over five months across Israel’s south, home front, and Gaza border region. Together, they form a stark record of trauma, resilience, and a nation still reckoning with both. Mark the third anniversary of October 7 with this powerful exhibition honoring the dead, confronting the reality of violence, and bearing witness to the enduring spirit of the Israeli people. Ziv Koren’s award-winning work has been exhibited worldwide and published in Time, Newsweek, Der Spiegel, Paris Match, and Corriere della Sera. The exhibition runs through November 4, 2026. Museum hours: Sunday–Thursday, 10:00 AM–4:00 PM.
