Hyphen: Jewish Stories in our own words
A vibrant new graphic novel anthology celebrating the rich diversity of Jewish experiences across the globe.
Hyphen is a powerful celebration of Jewish life—amplifying voices that have too often been overlooked. This collection features 12 deeply personal, real-life stories of Jews from racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse backgrounds around the world. Each story is told in their own words and uniquely illustrated by a roster of acclaimed international artists. From ancient traditions to modern journeys, these voices reflect the true diversity of the Jewish experience today.
Not stories about them—stories by them.
At the heart of Hyphen is the belief that Jewish identity is not one-size-fits-all. By empowering contributors to tell their own stories, Hyphen offers an authentic, nuanced, and deeply human look at what it means to belong.
Curated by Julian Voloj and Fabrice Sapolsky.
Stories from: Haftam Yitzhak Heathwood, Joshua Sky, Souks Soukhaseum, Eddna Samuel, Dubbs Weinblatt, Julian Voloj, Dana Schneider, Shoshana Nambi, Natan Badalov, Carmel Tanaka, Fabrice Sapolsky, Koren Shadmi.
Featuring art by: Guy Moshayov, Moritat, Toni Cittadini, Dorylis Giacchietto, Shannice Alagoga, Wagner Willian, Sergio Varbella, Chiara Raimondi, Makoto Tanaka, Jon Lankry, Aude Massot and Koren Shadmi.
Cover by Koren Shadmi.

Love the theme and diverse contributors and stories. I wish they weren’t so short but I guess that’s anthologies. Some of these should be expanded for sure. Like any collection, some works are stronger than others. Thanks for giving a voice to these stories!
