"Israel Through the Lens" is a collaborative project to mark Yom Ha'atzmaut 2011 and enable people to celebrate their relationship with Israel.

Organisers are asking for contributions to "share with others a glimpse of Israel through your eyes – be it the faces and places that capture for you Israel’s unique spirit or a photo of a family simcha, Purim party or your daily life as an Israeli."

The gallery is now live here (Password: yh2011). To submit a photo or find out more contact the Israel Through the Lens Team on israelthroughthelens@gmail.com or look on Facebook
