Tuvia Ribner's Song of Pesach

19 April 2008

Tuvia Ribner, the 2008 Jewish Prize laureate for literature and poetry, also dabbled in photography.

Tuvia was born in Czechoslovakia in 1924 and survived the Nazi era in Europe thanks to Henrietta Szold, who rescued Jewish children from the Nazis. He has been living in Kibbutz Merhavia from the day he immigrated to Palestine in 1941.

Since then, Tuvia has engaged in poetry, but photography has also been a significant part of his life.

Below are featured two photos he took at Kibbutz Merhavia in the 1950’s during Pesach (Passover).
