דער קערפער פֿון השם"#Graphicnovelist #JulianVoloj was walking through #Manhattan’s #Chinatown when he stumbled across the cemetery of the #UnitedStates’ oldest #Jewish community, #ShearithIsrael. This inspired him to write #Remnants, an interpretation of the story of 23 #Jews from #Brazil who established #NorthAmerica’s first congregation.
When people think about Jewish #immigration to #NewYork, it usually brings to mind the waves of Eastern and Central #European Jewish #migrants in the early 20th century. But Remnants sheds light on the #Sephardic immigration that introduced #Judaism to the Americas far earlier."
