Bilha (Israeli) Korkin took an interest in photography since she was young. In the previous tour we presented landscapes, postcards and faces which gathered to form a family photo album, which she has been collecting for years.

This time, ahead of the new school year, we shall present photos from her youth, and tour the Fawar well, the Netnaya beach and Jerusalem along with her friends from the Shfia youth village. We'll end our tour at the community of Yavniel, where Bilha and her husband live today.
