Using a readable question-and-answer format, Jews in America: The First 500 Years presents the activities of Jews in America since the beginnings of European settlement. It tells something of the story of how Jews came to the ‘golden land’ and what they have done here–men and women, scientists and athletes, soldiers and merchants, settlers and scholars. It is indeed a remarkable story.
