As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the story of the nation’s earliest Jewish settlers offers a fascinating window into the birth of American religious freedom. Who were these pioneers? How did they find their way to the colonies? How were they received, and what obstacles did they face? Explore the lives of early American Jews, their struggles against discrimination, and their contributions to colonial society and the American Revolution. Their experiences reveal how emerging ideals of liberty and religious tolerance took shape, conforming Jewish life in America as well as the broader promise of religious freedom for all.
