I have never been a reader or fan of graphic novels. This changed when I saw “Hyphen.” What a remarkable book that educates and entertains readers of all ages. Who knew that there were so many different Jewish experiences throughout the world and for so many different people such as in India, Africa, Laos, Thailand and for many trans and LBGT individuals. These stories in “Hyphen” come alive and we are changed forever.

“I always wanted the world to discover how rich and diverse our people are and have always been. And what better way to convey this to the rest of the world than with a visual medium like comics? Our culture is filled with stories from the diaspora. But never quite like what we created with Hyphen.”

“I am very grateful that the Hyphen team partnered with us at the JCC. Having the large posters of the graphic novel on the wall, so that passers-by could gain exposure, offered us the opportunity to declare that our space is open to all and that the Jewish community is wonderfully diverse. Having a panel of-featured story tellers also afforded us the opportunity to put faces with stories and to be in dialogue as human beings across our real and perceived differences.”

“Jewish joy and the art of storytelling remain at the heart of Be’chol Lashon’s work. In a world poisoned with misconceptions about Jewish identity, Hyphen serves as a vital antidote, fostering understanding and connection.”

“Whether you’re hoping to add engaging Jewish education through storytelling for a middle school classroom, you’re choosing a new book club option that celebrates Jewish diversity, or you’re someone who appreciates learning the vastness of Jewish experience through a comic, Hyphen is a must-read.”
