The story · English

Photographer Chaim Goldberg documented the busy scenes at the Separate Beach on the Dead Sea during Bein Hazmanim, the break period between yeshiva study sessions. Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Jews gathered at the beach to enjoy the unique experience of floating in the salty waters and covering themselves in the region's famous black mud. The images capture the vibrant atmosphere as families and individuals take advantage of the vacation days to relax and rejuvenate in this distinctive natural setting. The Separate Beach is known for catering specifically to the ultra-Orthodox community, providing a modest and culturally appropriate environment for leisure. This annual tradition during Bein Hazmanim highlights the community's engagement with nature and recreation while maintaining their religious lifestyle.
