A CO-EXISTENCE Aaron Vincent Elkaim's photographic journey through Jewish Morocco Curator: Evelyn Tauben We're very excited to announce that the second installation in the Makom Window Gallery and the first exhibition inside our new space is now on view, featuring the striking photographs of Aaron Vincent Elkaim. The images track Elkaim's travels in Morocco, the birthplace of his father, to Jewish sites in various stages of use and abandon. The portfolio reveals the complex layers of the relationships between the Jews of Morocco and their Muslim neighbours, who continue to be the guardians of Jewish cemeteries, synagogues and shrines to tzaddikim (revered rabbis known for their miraculous deeds) long after the vast majority of Jews have left. Pass by our window or come into Makom to discover this past and present story of co-existence. There will be dedicated evening visitor hours on July 6 and July 28 from 5 to 8pm as well as a gathering with the photographer on Tuesday, August 9; more details to come. More info on our website.

Following is a distribution of attacks in May 2016 according to regions:

The Gaza Strip – 16 attacks: 2 rocket launchings; 12 mortar shell launchings; 2 small arms shooting.

Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem – 84 attacks: 11 IED (including pipe bombs and improvised grenade) (1 in Jerusalem); 4 small arms shooting; 3 stabbing (in Jerusalem); 1 run over; 65 firebombs (13 in Jerusalem).

The "Green Line" – one stabbing attack in Tel Aviv.

High-trajectory launchings from Gaza Strip and Sinai

Throughout May 2016 three rockets were launched** from the Gaza Strip towards Israel (within 2 attacks) and 19 mortar shells (within 12 attacks), as opposed to April in which no rockets or mortar shells were launched.

**Clarification: The number of launchings is the number of rockets/mortar shells actually launched during one high-trajectory fire attack. For example: one attack may include a salvo of three launchings, that is, three rockets/ mortar shells, and so it will be counted as one attack and three launchings.
