We are happy to announce the launch of the first printed scroll in the series the Travels of Schneur Zalman Mendelovitch (S.Z.M.), by David Duvshani and Shahar Fineberg, a cooperation between Tohu Magazine and Barhash Publishing. The launch event will include a theatrical presentation of the story of the scroll, live music, and a D.J. 

The Travels of S.Z.M. is a comic strip in the form of a scroll, which has been published serially in Tohu Magazine since December 2016. The story follows the imaginary adventures of the rabbi Schneur Zalman Mendelovitch, a member of HABAD, an illustrator, and a miniaturist, who lived in Hebron in the middle of the 19th century and traveled all over the world. From chapter to chapter in the strip, the character of S.Z.M. wanders through places and times around the world, from India at the time of the Great Revolt to Acre under Napoleon's siege and to Victorian London
