Shmuel Amit
“When I was asked to present one picture that represents my year, my head went in many directions, but very quickly I imagined the simple and true moments of a bochur sitting on 770’s benches and studying Torah diligently and steadily came to mind. This is our center of life, and that is what my picture portrays.”
Shimi Kutner
“I took this photo during the National Menorah Lighting at the White House. I chose it as my top photo because I thought it was really beautiful to see the soldiers standing in respect next to the Menorah, and I felt it depicts the increasingly positive and respectful relationship between the American government and people of the Jewish faith.”
Chaim Perl
“I led a group of college students on a Maaynot Birthright trip. I took this photo while we were hiking the Golan, and we were hit with heavy fog. The vibe of the photo reflects the vibe of the entire trip. It was incredible to have the opportunity to inspire young adults in such a way. It’s an experience I recommend to everyone. A bucket-list must do.”
Sholem Srugo
“This is a photo I took of a backpacker I met while doing a sunrise hike on Indian Nose in Guatemala. There are a lot of pictures that I love, but I chose this one because you can see the beauty of a Jew, who, even though he is completely unaffiliated, has an internal love and faith in God and is ready to put on Tefillin whenever asked.”
Chana Blumes
“My goal in my career is to take photos that you can feel so that when a client looks through the photos of their event, they can live those moments again. I felt that this picture did that perfectly – that even though you can’t see his face, you can feel the emotions the way you would if you were actually there, listening to him sing.”

“I like this picture because it expresses the triumph of light over darkness. – Moishy Holtzberg, who survived a horrific terror attack at the Chabad House in Mumbai, India, helps a senior US Navy Seal put on Tefillin for the first time.”
