Anthony Behar was interested in stepping away from portraying the Lubavitch in a stereotypical way: instead of using the city landscape as a backdrop to set them apart from the general public, he decided to turn his focus inward, literally and figuratively. Wanting to create a series of images that were more lyrical than critical, he photographed them within the confines of the sacred grounds of Grand Rebbe Menachem Shnearson¹s grave and within the sanctum of their headquarters, the earliest founded Chabad Synagogue in Brooklyn, New York. This is the beauty of their culture as seen by a New York documentary photographer.
