Our Siblings in Suriname: An American Jewish Community beyond Borders January 11 @ 10:30 am - 11:45 am This lecture covers the history of the Jewish community in Suriname, a Caribbean country in South America, and one of the oldest existing Jewish communities in our hemisphere. We’ll discuss its beginnings in slave society and into the twentieth century, when Surinamese Jews, many of whom had both African and European ancestors, built a local revival, and increased their bonds with the Jewish diaspora.
