Jews of San Nicandro

The Jews of San Nicandro (also called San Nicandro Jews) are a small community of Jews from San Nicandro Garganico, Italy. The community developed as a result of the conversion of many of the town's cobblers, beginning in the 1940s. Today, most of the San Nicandro Jews live in Israel.
