"The first synagogue in colonial America was built in New York City in 1730 on land that was purchased for [pounds]100 plus a loaf of sugar and a pound of Bohea tea. This purchase was noteworthy because until this time Jews had only been permitted to buy land for use as a cemetery. Early in their stay in New Amsterdam and New York, many Jews considered themselves transients and were not interested in voting, holding office or securing equal rights. By the end of the 18th century, however, some Jews had accumulated large estates, and recognized a need for citizenship." "After a review of the Jews' migrations around Europe, the West Indies and North and South America, describing the hardships they faced, this book discusses their experiences in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New England, and the South. Subsequent chapters discuss anti-Semitism, slavery, and the transformation of the Jews from immigrants to citizens"--Book jacket.
