To tie in with our special Argentina focus in the latest issue of JR, we'll be looking at the Jewish heritage of this vibrant South American country. Argentina has a diverse and fascinating history, from a flourishing Yiddish scene in Buenos Aires to Syrian merchants who plied their trade along the Andes, to Russian gauchos (cowboys) who set up Jewish agricultural settlements and ranches in the provinces. We’ll be joined by author and journalist Javier Sinay, artist Mirta Kupferminc and writer and journalist Jordan Salama, at our spring issue launch, where we’ll discover the stories of the South American pioneers who helped create Argentina's thriving and energetic Jewish community of today.
