COMMUNITY IN FOCUS
Photojournalist Marvin J. Wolf — who’s been honing his craft for nearly 40 years — trained an unobtrusive camera on the 200 families of Congregation Mishkon Tephilo, capturing the congregants of the seaside Los Angeles community of Venice as they observed Jewish rituals and rites. Some 30 digitally manipulated images from his series are on view in “The Tabernacle of Prayer,” sponsored by the University of Southern California Hillel Jewish Center and Congregation Mishkon Tephilo.
The work of this documentarian and combat photographer — who is also a screenwriter and author — has appeared in publications around the world and garnered him the Nikon Bronze Medal for photographic excellence.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
