🇺🇸 America opened its doors to the Jewish people in our hour of need. Stepping off the boats in New York City, America’s early Jews came with nothing but faith, two hands, and the determination to begin again. They built from nothing. And in a country that finally let them try, they proved something to the world: no matter where you come from, with hard work, and trust in G-d, a person can rise as far as their own effort will carry them. That is the American dream, and they helped define it. Today over 7 million Jews proudly call America home, the largest Jewish community outside Israel. myjli #jewishhistory #americanjews #jewishstories
