"Award-winning #photographer #BillAron, known as the “Dean” of #American #Jewish #photographers, has documented #Jewishlife in the #UnitedStates and around the world for more than 50 years.

Some of his #photographs appeared in the earliest issues of #Moment. Join #Aron for a conversation about his latest endeavor, The World in Front of Me: A Bill Aron Retrospective and accompanying #podcast, co-curated with the American Jewish #Historical Society.

The retrospective showcases his work from the #AmericanSouth, #LosAngeles and #NewYork to the #SovietUnion, #Cuba and #Jerusalem. Aron reflects on how documenting Jewish life became his life’s work, how he chose the communities he #photographed, how he got to know his subjects, and over the years what changes he has witnessed in the Jewish world through the lens of his #camera.

In conversation with Moment #Arts and Articles Editor #DianeBolz. Co-sponsored by #AJHS."
