Writer/photographer Bryan Schwartz, photographer Sandy Carter and journalist Jay Sand have visited dozens of the most isolated Jewish communities in the world in recent years. Their unique photographs and interviews document populations that remain on the geographic and cultural fringes of the Jewish Diaspora. From the Benei Menashe tribes in the hills of northeastern India to the Abayudaya of Mbale, Uganda, from the Inca Jews of the Peruvian Andes to the Jewish community of Rusape, Zimbabwe (with its own Jewish gospel choir), each of these communities maintains its traditions apart from the mainstream Jewish community, struggling to preserve Jewish practice, rituals and culture amidst often harsh surroundings.

In their upcoming book, Jews of Color: In Color!, Schwartz, Carter and Sand will introduce readers to the diverse faces and places that comprise today's hidden Jewish world. With hundreds of large, color photographs and never-before told stories, readers will feel that, like the artists themselves, they have become intimate friends with Jews in places they never dreamed existed.
