I spent seven months taking photos at The Yeshiva Gedolah Zichron Moshe, a small orthodox yeshiva near South Fallsburg, New York, on a back road in the heart of The Catskills, and photographed every aspect of spiritual and educational life of the school. I never used a flash, not wanting to compromise the integrity of the “Rembrandtian” first light streaming through the large stained glass window, illuminating glowing faces of rabbis and students. It was the light of Renaissance artists, the light of devout, highly orthodox, religious Jews, the light of ancient Jewish history, the light of 5771 years.
