HINENU: Israel at Ten Million by Elad Oran (designer) Inbar Pinchuk (designer) David Shlachter (Photography) Melissa Weiss (copy editor)

Israel has reached a population of 10 million. Within months of hitting this milestone, the country released its first census in 15 years, outlining the demographics of these10 million people by gender, age, religion, location, and place of origin.

American photographer David Shlachter traveled throughout Israel to document the population at this landmark, capturing portraits and human stories from a sample of 100 people who proportionally reflect the overall demographics of the country. All portraits and stories were captured during the October 7th War, providing unique insight into the nuanced experiences of people living through a period of intense conflict.
