What do we learn from the Jews?

Anyone who follows the history of the Jews in the past centuries will find that the Jews built their physical structure and preserved their faith since their arrival in the United States of America in 1654, after they faced various challenges and hardships. Now let's take a look and see what the Jews went through in the United States of America: Anti-Semitism has been a constant presence throughout American Jewish history, there were series of political Extremism and Radicalism . Though America's founders had imagined a country free from religious persecution, guaranteed in the religious freedoms promised by the Bill of Rights upon its approval in 1791. but there were limitations were imposed against religious minorities, including Jews. From the moment they first arrived at the colony of New Amsterdam (New York), Dutch governor Peter Stuyvesant petitioned To exclude them, but the financial benefits of Jewish mercantile networks prevented it. They were publicly denied worship unless they embraced Christianity and the church; however, as synagogues began to spring up, It is worth noting that economic necessity, Judaism was quietly tolerated. Organized Protestant efforts to convert American Jews began in the nineteenth century. Annus mirabilis was 1816, a year that saw the establishment both of the Female Society of Boston and the Vicinity for Promoting Christianity among the Jews and of the American Society for Evangelizing the Jews. Post-Edwardsiantheology, the Second Great Awakening, the growth of the London Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews, and the Peace of Ghent form the background for these developments. In addition, a man sailed into New York harbor in 1816 who had become famous for the leading role he had played in -founding the London conversionist society:JosephSamuel Christian FrederickFrey. Open and direct American Jewish responses to Christian missions properly date to this 1820 incorporation. Only then did the melioration society become an active force, funded by hundreds of auxiliary organizations that poured money into its coffers and promised full support to its activities. American Jews understandably took fright.They fearedfor their survival. Being small in number (about 3,000), they could ill affordto lose adherents to the majority faith. Christianity posed a menacing challenge to the Jewish people. By undertaking active missions, Christians forced Jews back into an age-old battle, not only live souls were at stake; centuries of martyred souls were too, in Jewish eyes, the war against missionaries became a war of affirmation, a war to prove that eighteen hundred years of Jewish civilization had not been in vain. During the Civil War (1861- 1865), for example, anti-Jewish intolerance increased dramatically on both sides, with both the Union and Confederacy making baseless accusations that Jews aided the opposing side. Newspaper cartoons depicted Jews as unpatriotic merchants who sold military supplies with high prices, undermining the war effort while making a profit. General Ulysses S. Grant even issued an order to expel all Jews from the territory under his command, blaming Jews as a class for the smuggling and cotton speculation conducted by a diverse network of people in his region. After Jewish expulsions in northern Mississippi and Paducah, Kentucky, President Lincoln learned of Grant’s order, gave a counter order to abolsh it directly, condemning the wronging of an entire group for the behavior of only a few sinners, Grant later apologized and spent the remainder of his life as a friend of human rights causes generally, especially those involving Jews, taking legal steps to protect America’s freedom of religion. Despite everything mentioned above Historical sources reported that the have shared effectively in the war, work hadrd till they enabled to own land, enter the civil service, and serve as officers in the national armed forces. Jews were being overrepresented in future-oriented professions of the late nineteenth century as well as they prove their existence in finance, banking, trade, industry, medicine, law, journalism, art, music, literature, and theater.
