Amercan Origins: Tracing Our Jewish Roots

by Miriam Sagan

Jewish roots in America date back to 1645, but the first wave of emigration occurred from 1826-1850, when 45,000 Jews from Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia, and Poland came to America to start anew. They brought with them faith in a strong family unit, emphasis on religious education, and an unwavering belief in the political ideas of social justice. Illustrations.
