First Jewish Americans: Freedom and Culture in the New World

How did Jewish settlers come to inhabit—and change—the New World? This virtual presentation from the New-York Historical Society will follow the trajectory of a people forced from their homes in Europe, South America, and the Caribbean, to their controversial arrival in New Amsterdam in 1654, to the political freedoms they gained in early 19th-century New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston.

This program is presented in collaboration with the Chappaqua, Scarsdale, and Tuckahoe Public Libraries.
