Jewish Settlement In North America & The Importance Of Mobility with Prof. Jonathan Sarna Part 1

In this series with Professor Jonathan Sarna, we explore how American Jewish life has been built, rebuilt, uprooted, and re-rooted over 250+ years, tracing a story of mobility, reinvention, and opportunity from colonial port cities to today’s suburbs and Sunbelt hubs. Part 1 - Pioneers and Port Cities looks at the Sephardic and Ashkenazic families who first established communities in Charleston, Savannah, Newport, New York, and Philadelphia, and how they navigated religious freedom, mercantile networks, early institutions, and legal rights in a Protestant-dominated society. Jonathan D. Sarna, PhD, is the University Professor and Joseph H. & Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History at Brandeis University and one of the world’s leading scholars of American Judaism. He also serves as Chief Historian of the National Museum of American Jewish History and has been named to Newsweek’s list of “America’s 50 Most Influential Rabbis” (as a scholar). A graduate of Brandeis University (BA) and Yale University (PhD), Prof. Sarna has authored or edited more than 30 books, including the award-winning American Judaism: A History, When General Grant Expelled the Jews, Lincoln and the Jews, and Jews and the Civil War. Prof. Sarna is widely recognized as the preeminent interpreter of how Jews have shaped—and been shaped by—the American experience.
