Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for May 8, 2008.

Some 50 years ago, David Rubinger took an iconic photo of a blind immigrant boy learning the contours of his new homeland through feeling a 3-D map of Israel at a Jerusalem school for the blind.

Both the photographer and his former subject returned last week to the site of their first encounter.
