What does it mean to be a Jew in a Democratic country? The story of Judaism in America is a long one, full of twists and turns. In this first lesson, we’ll set our sights on the first Jews to set foot in the United States. Together we’ll explore how Jewish life changed and adapted to its new surroundings. Along the way, we’ll encounter Spanish conquistadors, President George Washington, and even a Jewish vice presidential candidate. Join us on our journey into American Jewish history.
