[Salomon] is buried in an old Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia, but his exact grave is unknown.

Too bad that his grave site fell into disrepair and his grave stone apparently deteriorated.

It may take some diligence, but perhaps we can get him the kind of grave stone his life story deserves.

Thanks for the post, Pharmboy.

BTTT.

>>Many do not know about him. He is buried in an old Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia, but his exact grave is unknown.

Obama probably confiscated his plot.

He’s not forgotten though, by any means. My family has been affiliated, in one capacity or another, with his synagogue in Philadelphia — Mikveh Israel (the Spanish-Portuguese Synagogue). His memory is prominently featured when you walk in. The Congregation prides itself on its role as the Synagogue of the Revolution. Truly a wonderful, warm, and very patriotic community.

I meant “affiliated for three generations.”

I know about Haym Solomon since I was little. Jews were proud of him.
