His images are also on permanent display at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York.
A graduate of Yeshiva University in New York City, Judah's interest in the visual arts began at age 13, when he bought a used Super 8 camera with some of his bar mitzvah money. An educator and an inspiring public speaker, Judah gives public talks about his photographs and conducts photo workshops for groups of various ages, from teenagers to adults. He has taught business and creative marketing to Illustration Majors at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and writes on photography and visual literacy.
