Shye Klein

Light Seeker

Through Limor Garfinkle’s lens, we celebrate heroes like Shye, a Canadian-Israeli photographer and public speaker whose journey embodies resilience and rediscovery. Born in Toronto, he made Aliyah in 2023, seeking connection and purpose. At the Nova music festival on October 7, Shye survived the Hamas attack and instinctively documented the horror as it unfolded—turning trauma into testimony. Since then, he has spoken in over 230 cities, sharing his story with tens of thousands and using his lens to preserve truth and humanity. Through his project Beyond The Supernova, Shye re-humanizes survivors of the Nova Festival, capturing not only their pain but their enduring light.

About the Heroes Series

American Friends of Soroka and Photographer Limor Garfinkle present Heroes of Truth: Portraits of Courage celebrating courage and resilience, honoring those who stand in defense of Israel and truth.

Through art, we pay tribute to these heroes and inspire others to stand firm against hatred and injustice. One hundred percent of profits will directly support Soroka’s Department of Psychiatry, offering critical mental health programs for pediatric and adult patients suffering from PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Beyond raising funds, Heroes of Truth aims to inspire action. By showcasing the bravery of those who refuse to stay silent, we send a powerful message: courage and truth will always triumph over silence and oppression.
