PHOTOGRAPHY CARAVAN – IMAGES OF JEWISH BUFFALO, ON EXHIBIT AT JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF GREATER BUFFALO ART GALLERY, HOLLAND FAMILY BUILDING, 787 DELAWARE AVE, BUFFALO, NY, AUGUST  15 – OCTOBER 31, 2018

This exhibit is a showcase of photographs taken by members of the community who participated in a day long photography workshop with Israeli artist-in-residence, Asaf Elkalai, hosted by the Jewish Community of Greater Buffalo and Buffalo Jewish Federation.

The group exhibit includes photographs from eight photographers of various Jewish locations in Buffalo, including Congregation Beth Abraham, a historic Buffalo synagogue, which continues to serve the community at large, Temple Beth Zion, an amazing architectural wonder in the heart of the City, Temple Beth El (Richmond Ave), a once magnificent synagogue, now shuttered and Beth Jacob Cemetery, a shadowy reminder of a once thriving Jewish presence on Buffalo's East Side.

A free gallery reception, open to the community, will take place during the Grand-Reopening of the JCC Holland Family Building, August 19, 3:30 p.m., in the Art Gallery at the JCC Holland Family Building.

Gallery admission is free and the gallery is open during JCC business hours, 7 days a week.
