Hinenu: Israel at Ten Million

From the Introduction;

Israel has reached a population of 10 million.

Though the country is the subject of global fascination, few have a firm grasp of the incredibly diverse set of humans who call Israel home.

This project used the most recent population census to guide the selection of 100 people who collectively match the demographics of the country by age, gender, religion/ethnicity, location of residence, and place of origin. The goal is to present each participant in full dignity as they share the truth of their lived experiences. My hope is that after digesting their stories, readers will grow slightly less certain and slightly more curious, expanding their capacity for empathy.
