Oy Vey, King George! The Secrets of the Jewish Patriots in the American Revolution Online
Jews fought in the Revolution. They built American synagogues in wartime, and in an era where all men were declared equal, they fought to make it a reality. Discover how American Jews joined the patriot cause and were welcomed by the patriots. How did American Jews fare differently than Jews elsewhere, and how did that make American Judaism and American rights distinct?
Adam Jortner is a professor of history at Auburn University, and the author of A Promised Land: Jewish Patriots, the American Revolution, and the Birth of Religious Freedom. He is an expert on American religious history, church and state relations, and the founding of the United States of America. He is a frequent contributor to Audible's Great Courses series, and a former member of the script team of the original Carmen Sandiego.
