SUMMARY:New Works Wednesday with Rachel Frankel and JJCPF
DESCRIPTION:The ASF Institute of Jewish Experience presents: \nNew Works Wednesday with Rachel Frankel and JJCPF \nJoin us for a special New Works Wednesdays with the JJCPF (Jamaican Jewish Cemeteries Preservation Fund). \nIn 1661\, the English Crown offered 30 acres to settle in Jamaica. Jews\, overwhelmingly Spanish Portuguese\, came. By 1800\, Jews had settled throughout and their cemeteries ringed the island. Today\, Jamaica is the final resting place for\, by one count\, roughly 10\,000 Jews. The one cemetery that remains open for burial is roughly three acres in size. It is located in the heart of Kingston\, referred to as the Orange Street Cemetery\, maintained by the United Congregation of Israelites Jamaica\, and approaching its 200th year. Since 2007\, volunteers\, led by Rachel Frankel\, have documented Jamaica’s Jewish cemeteries and since 2017\, the JJCPF (Jamaican Jewish Cemeteries Preservation Fund) has been working to preserve the cemeteries. \nOn May 25\, Rachel Frankel and some of JJCPF’s board members will introduce Jamaica’s Jewish cemeteries\, provide virtual tours of the Falmouth Cemetery and the Orange Street Cemetery\, and demonstrate their newly launched site specific online searchable database. \nWednesday\, 25 May at 12:00PM EST  \n(Complimentary RSVP) \n 12PM EST ◊ 7PM Jerusalem  \nAbout the speaker:\nRachel Frankel is principal of the firm Rachel Frankel Architecture in NYC. She is the co-author with Aviva Ben-Ur of “Remnant Stones: The Jewish Cemeteries of Suriname” and leads the effort to document Jamaica’s Jewish cemeteries. \nSponsorship opportunities available:\ninfo@americansephardi.org
