DANIEL LIPPITT Photographer

ormer Jewish News photographer Daniel Lippitt was a

counselor during the summer's Detroit Teen Mission 2
Israel. "As a photographer," he writes, "I was excited
not only about going to Israel, but about the pho-
tographs I could take.
"Israel is a photographer's dream. A country with a 3,000-
year-old history, the center of three of the world's religions, and
populated by people of great beauty and tradition. These are a
few of the 900 photographs I took." ❑
