I was around 8 years old and even back then I loved the excitement of seeing the developed photos. That feeling has never left me. At around that time\, my older brothers were experimenting with their Asahi Pentax and set up a dark room in the basement of our house. I can still smell the chemicals and remember my delight at seeing the ghostly images emerging and morphing into black and white shots. \nThere has virtually never been a time when I haven’t had a camera with me. I’ve always been happier behind the camera than in front of it. Travel\, friends\, family\, pets\, and later\, my children. When my son became a baseball player and my daughter a dancer\, it was natural for me to become the “photographer mom”. That’s when my love for action photography developed\, and I started taking it more seriously. \nToday\, dance photography is my main focus – both live action and in a studio. I relish the challenge of capturing the apex of a dance move during a show when you only have one chance at it\, of finding the right balance between the changing lighting and letting in enough light to make the optimal picture and stop the action at its peak. \nTravel photography\, with an emphasis on the Tuscan countryside and villages\, isn’t far behind. The beautiful stone alleyways\, the rolling hills\, the iconic Cypress trees\, are great subjects. And they stand perfectly still\, so taking that picture is a far less heart stopping endeavor. \nWith the Canon EOS R6 Mark II digital mirrorless camera I have today\, I’ve come a long way since my Kodak. I hope you enjoy the images I’ve selected out of the thousands that I’ve shot over the years. \nPlease call 098330950 during office hours 08:30-12:30 to make sure the hall is open for viewing the exhibition. \nThe Berkowitz Marcus Hall is available for exhibiting art works and photography.

I was around 8 years old and even back then I loved the excitement of seeing the developed photos. That feeling has never left me. At around that time\, my older brothers were experimenting with their Asahi Pentax and set up a dark room in the basement of our house. I can still smell the chemicals and remember my delight at seeing the ghostly images emerging and morphing into black and white shots. \nThere has virtually never been a time when I haven’t had a camera with me. I’ve always been happier behind the camera than in front of it. Travel\, friends\, family\, pets\, and later\, my children. When my son became a baseball player and my daughter a dancer\, it was natural for me to become the “photographer mom”. That’s when my love for action photography developed\, and I started taking it more seriously. \nToday\, dance photography is my main focus – both live action and in a studio. I relish the challenge of capturing the apex of a dance move during a show when you only have one chance at it\, of finding the right balance between the changing lighting and letting in enough light to make the optimal picture and stop the action at its peak. \nTravel photography\, with an emphasis on the Tuscan countryside and villages\, isn’t far behind. The beautiful stone alleyways\, the rolling hills\, the iconic Cypress trees\, are great subjects. And they stand perfectly still\, so taking that picture is a far less heart stopping endeavor. \nWith the Canon EOS R6 Mark II digital mirrorless camera I have today\, I’ve come a long way since my Kodak.

But behind the bright lights and the successful international career lay a profound personal dilemma. \nIn this moving live music and lecture presentation\, Danny opens up about his decision to leave Israel after his military service to pursue the “American Dream.” He shares raw stories from his years in the US—from the heights of professional comfort and luxury to the jarring encounters with rising antisemitism that forced him to view his identity in a new light. \nDanny dives deep into the internal tug-of-war: the struggle of choosing between a flourishing career abroad and the visceral pull toward his homeland. He discusses the challenges of reintegrating into Israeli society\, the sacrifices made along the way\, and the ultimate realization that despite the hardships\, coming home was the most rewarding chord he ever struck. \nThrough live guitar performances and honest dialogue\, Danny explores what it truly means to choose Israel every day\, offering a unique perspective on Jewish identity\, resilience\, and the meaning of “home” in an ever-changing world. \nMembers pre-paid NIS 40\nMembers at door and non-members NIS 60 \nPurchase tickets below\, call the box office 09-8330950 (Sunday-Thursday 8:30-12:30) or pay at the door. \nPrepaid tickets available until noon on the day of this event. \nNearby Parking: (one block north of Netanya AACI\, approach from the north on Shmuel Hanatziv to turn right into the driveway just before the traffic circle) \nUsing Waze: https://waze.com/ul/hsv8zcjvhf \nUsing Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/teDPagS7GRUi5VzY8 \n  URL:https://netanyaaaci.org.il/event/weissfeld-26july/ LOCATION:Netanya AACI\, 28 Shmuel Hanatziv\, Netanya\, Israel\, 4228132\, Israel CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://netanyaaaci.org.il/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Weissfeld.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Netanya AACI":MAILTO:info@netanyaaaci.org.il END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20260728T193000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Jerusalem:20260728T193000 DTSTAMP:20260521T234947 CREATED:20260227T104939Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260417T152915Z UID:10051619-1785267000-1785267000@netanyaaaci.org.il SUMMARY:Harvey Bordowitz: One (*H*e*l*l*) Heck of a Lecture! - The Devil in Music DESCRIPTION:Harvey Bordowitz: One Hell Heck of a Lecture! – The Devil in Music\nMultimedia Music Lecture\n19:30 Sunday 28 July \nCall him Satan\, Lucifer or Beelzebub\, the king of the underworld always seeks to unleash his malice and mischief on the world above.
