Prayer at the Western Wall. Photos by Udi Goren<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Eleanor Linafelt<\/p>\n

Israeli educator, artist and travel photographer Udi Goren will speak virtually about the \u201cThe Many Layers of Jerusalem\u201d on May 23 at 1 p.m., sharing photographs that he has taken over the past 15 years of the people and places of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

Through his photos, anecdotes and stories, Goren hopes to give attendees a nonfamiliar perspective of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows about the wall and the holy sites and most people know a lot of the history,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to give bring something that they haven\u2019t seen before.\u201d
\nSome of the many layers of Jerusalem that Goren will discuss include the spiritual and earthly, the religious and secular, the diversity of religions and current and historical events.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is so much to a city like Jerusalem that there is always something new to show,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Goren said that his primary goal for the event is that people enjoy it. He describes his talks as \u201cstory-like rather than lecture-like.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, in light of the current Israeli-Palestinian crisis, Goren will provide some brief historical background on the conflict to educate people on the situation in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

\u201cJerusalem is the epicenter of everything happening right now in Israel,\u201d he said, though he recognized that he won\u2019t be able to address all of the intricacies of the conflict. \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to explain the whole issue in an hour when I\u2019m also trying to give people a good time and tell other stories because it\u2019s a huge issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, he ultimately hopes to provide attendees with a better understanding of Jerusalem and ideas for how to thoughtfully read and interpret news about the city.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s very important for me that people begin to understand how complex the situation is in Jerusalem,\u201d Goren said.<\/p>\n

The event, which will be held on Zoom, is hosted by the Adult Education and Israel Affairs Committee of Temple Adath Israel and supported by an Israel Engagement Grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
