Jodensavanne

Jodensavanne was the site of the original Jewish community in Suriname. It dates back to the early 1600's and is located about 50 km south of the capital city of Paramaribo.  Most of the Jewish community had left this site and moved to Paramaribo by the beginning of the 19th century. I believe this is the oldest continually existing Jewish community in the Americas. For a bit on our journey to get to Jodensavanne, look at this post.



I used this sketch from Sketch-n-Scrap. This is also my entry in the Thankful challenge at Scrap & Play (T= tags, h=heartfelt creations paper, a = adhesive, n= numbers, k = kids (in photo), f= fussy cutting, u=uppercase letters, l= lowercase letters).

Thanks for looking!
