This volume explores the background and circumstances that brought about a milestone relationship between George Washington and the Jews. President George Washington was the first head of a modern nation to openly acknowledge the Jews as full-fledged citizens of the land in which they had chosen to settle. His personal philosophy of religious tolerance can be summed up from an address made in 1790 to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, where he said "May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other inhabitants, while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid." Was it Washington's respect for the wisdom of the ancient Prophets or the participation of the patriotic Jews in the struggle for independence that motivated Washington to direct his most significant and profound statement on religious freedom at a Jewish audience? Fritz Hirschfeld is a documentary historian.

The fundamental ideology or philosophy of Zionism is that the Jews are the ''chosen people'' and that God promised them that they should possess and rule the world. It is based on the first five chapters of the Old Testament as interpreted by their rabbis and their Talmud. The Zionists have been taught this false doctrine and they believe it and are attempting to bring it about through a world government. The Protocols represent their method of establishing their kingdom. Zionism is a political cult and the rabbis are its teachers and politicans; its objective is a world Jewish empire as projected by Theodore Herzl in their Protocols.

In A Genesis of Religious Freedom: The Story of the Jews of Newport, RI and Touro Synagogue, Dr. Melvin I. Urofsky recounts the unique history of Jewish settlers in Rhode Island - the first colony to grant its citizens freedom to worship in the manner of their choosing. Drawn to the promise that in Roger Williams’ Rhode Island colony “none shall be disturbed in their worship,” Newport’s Sephardic Jewish settlers were innovators, helping lead the town into its economic “Golden Age.” It was to the Newport Jewish community that George Washington wrote his powerful “Letter to the Hebrew Congregation” in 1790, promising that the U. S. government would give “to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” Newport’s diversity and religious tolerance enabled this community to thrive and, in 1763, to dedicate a synagogue –America’s oldest standing synagogue and a National Historic Site. Now celebrating the 250th anniversary of its dedication, Touro Synagogue remains home to an active Jewish congregation continuing in the spiritual tradition of Newport’s early settlers. Written for a general audience of all ages, in a captivating and easy-to-read format, Urofsky explores the richness of this ethnic community in a cosmopolitan New England seaport. Full-color illustrations illuminate participation in political, social, economic and civil life. The book provides readers of all religions with insights into an often overlooked, important and inspiring aspect of American history. Urofsky further notes that, “Starting in the late 1890’s, a remarkable series of events led to the revitalization of the community and Touro Synagogue. In 1947, Congress declared the building a national historic shrine. Since then, Jews of Newport and across the United States have restored and beautified the Touro Synagogue and its surrounding park.” The latest chapter in the synagogue’s history began in 2009 with the opening of the Ambassador John L. Loeb Jr. Visitors Center, gateway to Touro Synagogue National Historic Site. Dr. Urofsky is Professor Emeritus of History at Virginia Commonwealth University. This is the fifty-fourth book he has either written or edited, several of which have won prestigious awards.

Crafty politics always gets its main support from people with short memories. The purpose of this book is to refresh people's memory and bring certain important and tragic events of modern history into accord with facts. The serious study that resulted in this book was inspired by a tour through the Holy Land countries, which brought intimate contact with the pitiable spectacle of a million or so Palestinian Arab refugees. These people, who were once independent, self-supporting and even prosperous, have been dispossessed of their lifetime homes and possessions, hopelessly forsaken in primitive and isolated camps, scattered around the periphery of their traditional land to which their return is forbidden. After talking with many of these refugees, it was only natural for an inquiring mind to ask: "How could this happen in our modern 'civilized' world?" Why do people in America and Europe know so little about this human calamity for which they are partially responsible?

This book addresses the educational, occupational, and income progress of Jews in the American labor market. Using theoretical and statistical findings, it compares the experience of American Jews with that of other Americans, from the middle of the 19th century through the 20th and into the early 21st century. Jews in the United States have been remarkably successful; from peddlers and low-skilled factory workers, clearly near the bottom of the economic ladder, they have, as a community, risen to the top of the economic ladder. The papers included in this volume, all authored or co-authored by Barry Chiswick, address such issues as the English language proficiency, occupational attainment and earnings of Jews, educational and labor market discrimination against Jews, life cycle and labor force participation patterns of Jewish women, and historical and methodological issues, among many others. The final chapter analyzes alternative explanations for the consistently high level of educational and economic achievement of American Jewry over the past century and a half. The chapters in this book also develop and demonstrate the usefulness of alternative techniques for identifying Jews in US Census and survey data where neither religion nor Jewish ethnicity is explicitly identified. This methodology is also applicable to the study of other minority groups in the US and in other countries.
