A 1963 pinkas prepared by the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina.

Welcome

A pinkas is a traditional ledger from a Jewish communal organization, often illuminated and calligraphed. The Pinkas Project is a collaborative effort to build an online catalog of pinkasim created in immigrant communities. The project’s goals are to learn more about how this practice spread and to spur scholarship about Jewish communal records. Learn more.

Submissions

We are eager to learn more about pinkasim created in all immigrant communities outside of Eastern Europe. (There is already significant scholarship around the original Eastern European pinkasim.)
