Photojournalist Rafael Ben-Ari has discovered a distinctive way a group of people in his native country of Israel live their lives and he shares their story with the rest of the world in his photo essay
Israel: Black Hebrew’s Village of Peace
As Ben-Ari describes, "The Black Hebrews believe that they are descended from the Israelites who were expelled from Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and thereafter migrated for more than 1,000 years before reaching West Africa and later the United States as slaves. But for the 2,000-strong vegetarian and polygamous community of Black Hebrews living in the community is the fulfillment of a scriptural promise to create what they call the “Kingdom of Yah” or God on earth."
To glimpse the daily lives of this unique community that grew weary of ghetto life in the United States, please view Israel: Black Hebrew’s Village of Peace as portrayed by photojournalist Rafael Ben-Ari on Gaia Photos, a new international photography source comprised of 42 photojournalists from around the world whose mission is to promote quality and diversity in documentary photography.
