Chaim Potok, in his introduction to From the Corners of the Earth, writes the following: “From the bustling shops and synagogues of New York’s Lower East Side to the dwindling yet strong Jewish community in Havana; from Jerusalem to Moscow; from the aging activist Jews of Venice, California to the youthful members of New York’s Havurah movement; from the familiar to the strange, Bill Aron’s photographs bring into vivid focus the complex human dimension of contemporary Judaism.
In each instance, Aron’s camera captures the inner meaning as well as the outer form. His images speak as much to the spirit as to the eye.”
From the Corners of the Earth contains images of contemporary Jewish life of the former Soviet Union, Cuba, the Lower East Side of New York City, Los Angeles, and Israel.
