JEWS AND NON-JEWS SETTLE AMERICA
|
T HEY CAME FROM
FARAWAY places and faraway times and merged their talents and customs into a new nationality and created an America which serves as a beacon of hope for the world. |
| They began in 1492 when under the leadership of an Italian
explorer the men of Spain including one black man and six Jews arrived in the lands of the
Indians. Then came English and Dutch, Scotch-Irish and Swedes, Germans and French and
later all the different peoples of Europe, Africa and Asia. In partnership, they built a
country strong in its richness of ethnic variety committed to the quest for freedom,
compassion and respect for human differences. "I believe that we - all the people - built America together and we can best foster a partnership feeling of mutual respect and understanding of differences if we know more about each others' deeds." |
