Private Walking Tour: Jewish Colonial History in New York City
Overview
For anyone interested in the American Jewish experience, this tour explores the origin story of a community that has been contributing to the American story since the earliest days of colonization. Later American Jewish history is much more heavily explored, but seldom do we explore the stories of the first Jews to the continent, the first synagogue, and the Jews of the Revolution. We will go back to the first permanent Jewish residents of North America, explore how they survived, thrived, and played an integral part in both American and Jewish history.
