Hannah Lempert, a student at the Mercaz High School in Cincinnati, was the first-place winner in an international photography competition sponsored by Beit Hatfutsot, The Museum of the Jewish People at Tel Aviv University.  This inaugural exhibition included photography by teens from North and South America, as well as Israel. Hannah featured the Rockdale door knobs in her work, writing: “The doorknob belonged to a Cincinnati synagogue which was desecrated in 1968. The hands represent the Jewish citizens today being able to keep the spirit of a welcoming temple vibrant. Remembering history is important to me as a Jewish teen because if the past is forgotten, history inevitably repeats itself.”
