To coincide with the recent Rosh Hashanah in 2023<\/a>, the Jewish New Year, Team WHR<\/a> brings you a panel highlights from San Diego Comic-Con<\/a> 2023 about the art of storytelling from a Jewish perspective that dates back thousands of years. Although the earliest mention of Israel is inscribed on the Merneptah Stele<\/a> at approximately around 1213\u20131203 BCE, religious literature tells the story of Israelites<\/a> going back at least as far as 1500 BCE.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday July 21, 2023, thanks to a timely tip from award winning author and playwright Gary Morgenstein<\/a>, we attended a wonderful panel that shares this depth of knowledge in what has contributed to the human history of storytelling for at least the past 3,500 years!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The panel name is \u201cThe New Voice of Jewish Comics\u201d that featured (left to right in image below) the exciting efforts of Ramy Dubrow<\/a> (Source Point Comics), Joelle Sellner<\/a> (Ben 10, New Paradigm Studios), Arnon Schorr<\/a> (The Pirate Captain Toldenado), David McLees<\/a> (Source Point Press), Miriam Mora<\/a> (Center for Jewish History) and Jordan Gorfinkel<\/a>, famed DC Comics creator from the Batman franchise and thousands of other graphic novels as well as being a delightful cartoonist and musician. <\/span><\/span>During the panel, this group of talented individuals discussed what Jews in comics look like on and off the comic page. This panel busted stereotypes and demonstrated to everyone that Jewish comics are not only in the present, but are going to be in the future as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We include highlights of the panel below for your enjoyment as well as suggest that you click the logo artwork and hyperlinks to learn more about this marvelous group that is bringing \u201cThe New Voice of Jewish Comics\u201d to graphic novel admirers across the world via their Kickstarter Campaign<\/a>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
