A New Chapter in Our Journey
For decades, we’ve journeyed across continents, camera in hand, documenting the beauty and complexity of our world. From bustling markets to remote villages, our travels have been rich with stories—stories we’ve cherished and shared with our children, grandchildren, and close friends.
But as we reflect on these years of adventure, we realize that some stories deserve a wider audience.
Why We’re focusing on israel now
The events of October 7th changed us. In the aftermath, we found ourselves drawn more deeply to Israel—not just as a destination, but as a source of truth, resilience, and connection. Our goal moving forward is simple: to use our voices and lenses to bring you the human side of life in Israel—far beyond politics, stereotypes, or the curated images found in tourist brochures.
We want to show you the everyday moments of Jewish life. The hope, the grief, the laughter, the culture, the faith. The people and organizations working quietly to uplift others, preserve traditions, and heal. These are the stories that rarely make the headlines but are essential to understanding the soul of a nation.
Who we are
As older hosts, and as seasoned professionals from the business world, we now wear new hats: storytellers, observers, and bridges between people and perspectives. We are calm, thoughtful, and committed to providing a lens that is both respectful and revealing.
We believe our years bring a certain wisdom—and a responsibility. A responsibility to share not just photographs, but context. Not just experiences, but empathy. And not just headlines, but heart.
what to expect
Each week, we’ll publish a newsletter featuring new photographs and reflections from the people and places we visit throughout Israel. We’ll spotlight voices you may not have heard and organizations doing meaningful work. Some may inspire you to get involved, others may simply give you a deeper understanding of what life is like for Jewish families today.
If you’re reading this post, you’re already on our list. There’s no need to subscribe—we’ve got you covered! But we do hope you’ll forward this to friends or family members who might enjoy or benefit from these stories.
join us
This is not just about us. It’s about building a community of people who want to understand more, who care about what’s happening in Israel, and who believe in the power of storytelling to make the world a little more connected, a little more compassionate.
We’re honored to take this journey with you.
With warmth and purpose,
Your Traveling Storytellers
Lew & Susi Steinberg
